Melco. SongKong

Thanks for the reply.  The “I’m still challenged by the file management “ comment is telling.  I have since making this post used some 3rd party apps that while not perfect are at least a leg up on Melco and a football field better than Bryston’s Manic Moose.  So before I throw more money away and set myself up for additional aggravation I’ll just stay status quo.

Mahler - I only just saw this post. Melco's latest products now have SongKong and Minim Server integrated into the system, but both still require a license for the full service. I believe both have multiple installs with the license, so you should be able to run the SK & MS on your NAS drive, which should also be able to interface with the Melco. I have a discrete hard drive connected to my Melco with separate files that I access through the my music renderer connected to the Melco. Minim Server, Song Kong and Melco collaborated with  Melco for this latest version. I have had mine for nearly two years and recently did the factory upgrade for this. I am still challenged with the file management - but that is more my own technological lacking in this regard. The intent of the collaboration between the three is to facilitate a qualitative management of your music library.
