I have had a stab at describing how to display multi-disc albums as multi-disc

You may already be aware that Songkong supports auto-populating of the MinimServer group field, but we have now added support for the field to the latest version of Jaikoz http://blog.jthink.net/2017/10/jaikoz-93...adata.html - useful if you need to manually edit it.

I wanted to share with you a new feature of SongKong 5.0 that I hope will be of interest to some of you, Remote Mode. This feature means that you can now control SongKong from a remote device using a regular web-browser, and this could be another computer, iPad or even your mobile phone.

This also means you can install and use SongKong on a computer that does not have a Graphical User Interface (GUI) such as a Linux server. You can run all main tasks such as Fix Songs, configure options and also run administrative tasks such as license installation.

The current release is available for MacOS, Windows and Linux as usual, but we plan releases for various NAS devices such as Synology and Qnap very soon.

We have now added remote manual editing to SongKong, this means you can edit your songs metadata on a webrowser on a different machine to where you have installed SongKong, thiscould be anything on the network that can run a webbrowser (e.g laptop, ipad, android phone)

Two points that may be of particular interest to MinimServer users.
1. It supports MinimServers Group field as standard (see screenshot)
2. Remote Manual editing comes totally free with SongKong Lite, no purchase necessary

thanks Paul

All my music is on a synology, and for some reasons which are purely mine, not accessible from any computer as a network drive.

What I would love is a way to use those software directly on the synology... I started to do some php stuff, but unfortunatly there is no software to update tags on flac files on a synology, nor dsf (my two formats), so I am stuck at this basic layer.

Hi Paul,
Forgive me if this question has been answered elsewhere, or the answer is obvious, but:
Is it (or will it) be possible to install SK on a Melco or say a QNAP streamer. That would be great fun - being able to tidy up metadata from an iPad while listening to the music from a web browser, without having another computer running....

Hi Donuk, that is certainly the plan and one of the main drivers for adding the Remote UI to SongKong. So it isn't possible yet, simply because build installers for Melco and Nas machines is not standard and I need to take some time working out how do to it and then buy and test on the different hardware.

Expect within a few months.

Hi, so that is the plan to make installers available for Synology, Qnap and Melco, and that would allow you to do that.

Paul, that would be a great news. What I need is a way to update some of my tagging which are not perfect (I have 4500 albums, in flac except 320 in dsf). Is there a way to define my own tagging pattern ?

What do you mean by that, could you give an example ?

Do you mean can I rename my files based on my metadata in the way you want ? If so yes your rename masks are completely configurable, you have access to all your metadata and you can use the javascript expression language to manipulate as you see fit. SongKong comes with twenty predefined rename masks.
