Music from NAS or Shared Folder

If your Innuos server is running low on storage, or if you’re using a Pulse Series system, you can easily expand your Sense Music Library by mapping your adding a music library from your NAS or a network share.

Network-attached storage (NAS) is a type of file-level data storage device connected to a computer network, providing shared access to data for multiple clients. NAS systems typically offer file access using standard network protocols such as NFS, SMB or AFP. 

1. Access your Innuos dashboard via my.innuos.com or through the Sense app on your mobile device.

2. Navigate to System > Settings > Storage.

 3. Select “Add Shared Folder”.

4. It will begin scanning for available NAS’ on your network, If it does not find it the first time then perform a second scan.  

If your NAS is not detected automatically, choose Manual Configuration. Enter the IP address or network name of your NAS in the System Name field, then type the name of the shared folder where your music is stored. Only the initial shared folder name is required. For example, if your music is located in Music / My Music / My Files, just enter Music. You will then be able to select the exact folder in the next step. 

5. On the next step you will be prompted for a user name and password used to access your drive in the network (you may leave it blank if you don’t use any to connect to it).

6. At this stage you can simply select Finish to map the music library from the root folder in the prior step. If you would like to map a specific subfolder instead, select that folder and then click Finish

7. The system will start importing the selected folder into your Sense Music Library. You can monitor the progress using the System Tasks indicator.
