I think i recall being told it does work, yes. Generally I would expect any optical drive to work, with the exception of any that seem to use some kind of proprietary connection or software that locks it into very specific systems/functions.

Ever since innuOS 2.0 / Sense release, moving things directly into the Music folder did become an option, because the library would update itself in real time. The import process and folder structure used to be quite a bit more rigid on innuOS v1; a manual re-index was needed every time any...

Just to echo @frank7036 here as we do get a lot of questions about recommended optical drives. From my own experience, I would say Asus drives are a good choice on the basis of being reputable, widely available, nicely designed and sensibly priced. They even do a 'ZEN' line, so that's quite...

I can replicate some of this to an extent; if a DAC is powered back on when the Innuos is already on and has tracks in the queue, then yes it will resume playback. If that DAC is suddenly turned off or disconnected, then Sense will defer to the next available 'player' and if that has tracks...

Re-instating the previous profiles is made slightly tricky by the fact that the underlying platform of SenseUPnP is different; in the previous iteration we were actually leveraging a plugin which is no longer the case. Creating a profile takes a lot of time and resources to get into a stable...

I will have our QA team test this, as I also use an HP Envy laptop and have tried very rapidly scrolling through the Tracks view, and do not get 'snapping' back to the top of the list. Also tried on my Android Pixel 9 phone which also does not seem to do this. I tried both of these whilst...

Tethering USB drives to the streamer like this is quite detrimental to the noise floor of the USB subsystem and does affect sound quality, this is why we choose not to have it fully integrate into the library. You achieve much greater results by having a device with properly integrated internal...

SmartQ will factor in related artists, so should be pretty genre-relevant but can deviate a bit. As I say, you can set the behaviour in Settings to only pull from your current library if you want it to seem a bit less unfamiliar with no suggestions, but if you are keen to have it quite genre...

Hi Dave, the next track playing randomly may just be SmartQ kicking in - you can go to the SETTINGS menu and go to SmartQ and disable this. As for the viewing of favourite tracks being glitchy, I am not aware of an issue with this - can you let me know the software version of the Innuos system...

Hi Gary, the first step will be to make sure that the ZENith is fully updated to 3.3.7. After that, if you believe there are files missing from the Sense library that should be there if they are located inside the SSD of the ZENith, then you can go to SETTINGS -> STORAGE and perform a manual...

It depends if you mean Smart Mix or SmartQ - but you may find it easier to filter the Albums view to show just the genres you want to listen to, then initiate and Smart Mix just from those specifically selected tags/genres.

Okay, thank you for the feedback - not sure why this would have suddenly begun occurring so will feed this back.

Although I have not tested myself, you can try going into the LMS settings, then to PLAYER -> Audio and change the 'Power On Resume' mode, there are various options there including one that instructs the system to always stay paused/stopped after powering on, regardless of previous Now Playing...

Could you also let me know if after this update, you still have the correct 'badges' for the Naim devices on SenseUPnP? The latest beta update otherwise made no changes to the SenseUPnP profile, so realistically would not have expected any stability changes there.

Regarding the missing 'New Music' after an update: - Does affect both the New Music widget on the HOME tab, as well as actual New Music category under the MUSIC tab? - Do these become completely empty, or do the missing 'recent additions' seem to cut back to a certain date/time frame? So for...
