Nas / Q NAP/ Apple Mac / Set Up

[Walt61]

I have been recommended to use Minimserve via users of the Naim forum.

I currently have my music stored on a QNap Nas drive, and have my music files stored in wav format. I can stream music directly from my Nas to my Naim system using Twonky whilst the Mac is turned off.

I use the Naim streaming app on my i pad and i phone in order to manage the streaming.

Album details and artwork do not appear on either device during this process, despite being contained within the folders.

I have been advised to convert from wav to flac, and then use minim serve as the media server in order to do this.
In order to avoid many hours of wasted effort, and then failing to achieve my goal of having album, track details and artwork appear on my devices, whilst playing high quality audio files, can you explain in as simple a language as possible (for a seriously non techie Mac user) the best way to go about achieving my objectives.
It is also essential that I am able to stream without the mac needing to be turned ON !
I would also like advice on the possibility of creating playlists via minimserver.
I have read the accompanying literature with your product, and am beginning to think it is the way forward for me !
