RE: 2 servers with a Wiim?
You can run two instances of MinimServer on your Mac by doing the following:

1) Purchase and activate a MinimServer full license or activate the free 30-day trial. You need this to unlock some system settings that you will need to change.
2) If MinimServer is running, close it
3) Create a second Mac user account
4) Use Fast User Switching to login to the second account without logging out from your main account
5) In the second account, start MinimServer
6) From the MinimServer menu bar icon, select Configure
7) Click through the welcome page and select the License tab
8) If you have purchased and activated a MinimServer full license, you should get an automatic upgrade to a MinimServer full license for this second instance of MinimServer. If not, activate the free 30-day trial.
9) From the MinimServer menu bar icon, select Properties
10) On the Server tab, change the displayName value (for example, to include your wife's name)
11) On the Server tab, set the contentDir property to the folder containing your wife's music
12) On the System tab, set http.port to 9792 and set ohnet.port to 9793
13) After making all these changes, restart MinimServer
14) Use Fast User Switching to login to your main account without logging out from the second account
15) Start MinimServer from your main account
16) You should now have two instances of MinimServer running, one for your library and one for your wife's library
