    Open Assignable Custom Sense Tags to streaming service music

    In the case of local files, on the Genre & Tags category on the Music tab it is quite easy to merge tags into one another to 'boil down' too many entries which I have done quite a few times before. But you are quite right, this does not apply to streaming services which would need to be handled...

    Classical Mode: help needed!

    Also worth pointing out that if you have an music library that is 100% Classical, or have only a tiny amount of non-Classical, then I think the no-brainer is just option 2 where by default we just immediately enable all albums with the expanded 'classical' data fields. For the handful of...

    Classical Mode: help needed!

    Indeed Classical has further complexities, but with this comes the difficulty of how that works in the overall Sense library and how we do easily segragate these differences from non-Classical music. Option 2 does feel like this is the easier option, whereby if you wanted to listen to...

    Classical Mode: help needed!

    Hi again everyone, I'm returning with another topic for discussion over how Classical albums will be handled in Sense. As you know, Classical titles need more associated information with it than other mainstream pop/rock genres. Also, one of the greatly requested aspects of Classical is for...

    STREAM Series Megapost

    The cost of M2 modules has generally skyrocketed across the world in the wake of the AI boom. For the foreseeable, it is going to be less costly to look around and source your own M2 drive from retailers who may still have stock from a time when their buy-in was lower.

    How long can you expect a hard drive to last on a Zen MK2?

    Hi @pearson1977 , the life expectancy of an HDD can vary quite a bit, anywhere from 3 to 10 years usually, with the average lifespan usually landing in the middle somewhere. It's actually very rare we get a ZEN MkII back with HDD issues which is a good result since those devices are now 8 to 10...

    whats hapened?

    This can sometimes happen if there is a change on Qobuz side in terms of access to the album - sometimes they briefly lose access to an album, or change the 'shortcut' so that our link to in Sense app does not work anymore. If you get any saved Qobuz albums that are 'Not Found' then the best...

    Open Scheduled Power On/Off

    I was referring to what @Midway basically outlined here with a Harmony remote: https://community.innuos.com/threads/upcoming-remote-control-for-stream-series.1219/post-5727 But yes, the FLIRC request would perhaps make more sense that would address our system that do not have built-in IR...

    Upcoming Remote Control for STREAM Series

    An important thing to note also is that DSD cannot have its volume altered in the digital domain, it would have to be converted/transcoded to a PCM signal to be able to do this. This is not unique to Innuos but simply the nature of how DSD works, so if you have a lot of DSD files that you want...

    In Progress Duplicated Albums under Qobuz Albums tab.

    On Sense 3.4.1, when browsing under the dedicated Qobuz section and viewing your saved albums, many albums will be repeatedly listed when trying to scroll down and show more albums. This is an error due to how the system requests information from Qobuz that ends up receiving repeated data. This...

    3.4.1- Qobuz showing the the same albums many times

    We've confirmed the issue with how our system retrieves information from Qobuz directly and that it seems to be requesting from the same part of the library which is why it ends up with duplicates. The integration into the overall Sense library is different which is why you do not see the issue...

    3.4.1- Qobuz showing the the same albums many times

    Many thanks for providing this @giubeca and for the additional report @guardajoias - we will look into this ASAP.

    Streaming vs source

    If you're looking to get into DSD, then there are two file format options; .dsf or .dff. I strongly recommend going for DSF as this can carry metadata, whereas DFF does not which makes it very inconvenient to manage. As for storing it, I would suggest placing them on a NAS drive and then...

    Classical Mode: help needed!

    Do note this is technically already available under the ARTISTS tab, you just need to change the Sorting drop-down from the default 'Album Artists' to Composers, and then you will have a complete A-Z showing of all your Composers, where you can then click through to their associated releases. I...

    Classical Mode: help needed!

    Hello everyone, Thanks for your patience whilst we keep on working on Classical Mode! I am happy to share some good news to share on this front. As part of our development we have introduced a type of virtualisation or 'prototyping' for UI changes that we plan to implement, making it much...
