In the medium term yes.

Re: Asset uPNP

Asset uPNP sounds like an awesome product.

But will it support only FLAC? Or also WMA Lossless, with conversion while streaming to PCM if neccessary?

I love the description of your product, but FLAC-only support wouldn't work for me.....

Re: Asset uPNP

Our programs are very much windows only.

Re: Asset uPNP

Spoon - Any chance for a Netgear ReadyNas NV+ Version (addon) of Asset uPNP server?
I have a ReadyNas NV+ with my Flac AudioCD Archive (not complete yet but working on it - need cuesheet support in dbpoweramp... ) stored on it.
I am streaming the Flac files to a Denon AVR 4308 AV-Receiver via uPNP over my home network. As mentionend above I am also disapointed by the quality of existing uPNP server software, poor tag reading / album art, poor reliability, etc. If you can't do it on your own, what about working together with the netgear guys? In the readynas forum they are always helpful and cooperative.

It would be nice if such an addon for the nv+ could be released sometime...

Re: Asset uPNP

Spoon - you chose your "subtitle" for the right reasons. If you're doing, what I am hoping for, you really are "Da Man".:smile2:
Please don't forget tags like "composer", "orginal artist", "album artist", and maybe even other tags for making it possible to properly sort huge classical and jazz collections ;-)

Asset UPnP is a UPnP & DLNA server for Windows XP/Vista/Windows Home Server. The uPNP server will specifically targetted at FLAC.

Asset UPnP is a UPnP Server which runs on Windows. Asset adds extra browse trees (in relation to other servers) and implements multiple (artist/genre/etc support), and also does some clever things such as allow your playing device to play audio types it normally could not (for example mpc and wavpack).


Why?

We are disapointed by the quality of existing uPNP server software, poor tag reading / album art, poor reliability, etc. We need a UPnP server for RipNAS and the current choice is very poor indeed.

How Much?

Free for non-commercial use, commercial users please email: http://www.dbpoweramp.com/email.htm

Asset UPnP is targetted only for audio, and allows for very advanced browsing support (never seen before in a UPnP server, but for now Mums the Word).

Sonos Specifics

Sonos needs to be told to look for Asset, this can only be done only through the Sonos Desktop Controller. Start said program, File >> Preferences >> General Tab >> Advanced Options and check 'Show music from Rhapsody UPnP Servers', instantly Asset UPnP should appear on the remote controller (not iPhone/iPod yet I do not think), just under Music.
