PULSAR / PULSE / PULSEmini and USB External Storage

[TMY168]

Hello,

Is it possible to use USB External Storage with Innuos PULSE series streamers? If I remember correctly, was this feature available in previous InnuOS version? I cound be wrong. When adding storage, it only looks for NAS.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
ToMmY

Hi,

Yes, you can play files from a USB drive on all our devices. This feature is provided for convenience but has limited functionality, as it cannot integrate with your Sense library. For larger music collections, we recommend exploring our ZEN series products or using a NAS. For further information I've linked below one of our support articles.

I have read this before; doesn’t provide a step by step method to play from the drive
I go to my music but do not see the drive!

On the main music tab, the USB drive should be listed near the bottom just before you reach the icons for the streaming services. If the drive is not being shown there, then perhaps there is a problem elsewhere with it such as drive format or the amount power it requires from the Innuos etc. Which USB drive are you using?
