I decided to Re RIP all my CDs in Flac. Looks like my 300gb Qnap may be

You can't reconfigure Slimserver for that (without a hack, anyway),
but you don't need to if you can create a link between the new disk and
the folder you have configured for music. Do you get to a command prompt

No need for a PC, and the server program is run on the NV.

If you create a shortcut in your existing music folder that points to
the appropriate folder on the new disk, then Slimserver will follow it.

Hi all
I've just bought a SB3 to add to my two old SB1 players.
I can't fathom out how to get the analog VU meters to display.
Should this be a Now playing option? Or is it a screensaver setting?

player is on firmware
It's a screensaver setting, but post back if you don't find it. Somehow
