To control the music that plays through the DBM Server you will need a remote, this could be an
iPod®, iPhone® (Squeezebox Control App available from Apple iTunes Store), Android® Phone
(Squeezebox App available from Android Market), Logitech Squeezebox® Controller, or similar
device.
2. Ripping CDs, DVDs and Blurays
This is how you can generate your media library by ripping CDs, DVDs & Blurays to be stored on
the DBM Server and shared amongst all your devices/players.
To insert a CD/DVD/Bluray into the DBM Server, release the drive cover by gently pressing to the
top right of the opening to open the cover, then eject the tray by pressing the button on the drive.
Insert the chosen disc and close the tray, the DBM Server will now auto-rip the contents, when it
is complete the disc will eject to let you know you can insert another CD, DVD or Bluray.
If a music CD was inserted the songs will be stored in a lossless FLAC format in
/storage/music/flac/.
If a DVD or Bluray* movie was inserted the movie will be stored in a lossless MKV format in
/storage/movies/.
Progress of the ripping process can be checked on the CD/DVD Ripping page of the web
interface as shown in section 6 of this guide, if a disc appears to be caught in a loop or you
inserted it b
y mistake, please press the “Restart Auto Ripper” button on the web interface on the
CD/DVD Ripping Page in order to force the CD/DVD to eject and stop the ripping process.
3. Accessing Media on your DBM Server
If you wish to access the media stored on your DBM Server from a computer or other device you
can do so in several ways.
For a Windows® PC, open Windows Media Player® and choose DBM Media Server from the left
hand pane on the library screen, all your music will now appear and be playable.
The same process can be used in iTunes® on Windows® or MAC OSX®.
You can directly access the files on your DBM Server in W
indows by going to „My Computer‟ and
selecting network in the left pane, and then double clicking on the DBM Server icon which
appears.
The same effect can be achieved by typing
\\dbmserver
into the search bar on the start menu of
Windows 7® or Start -> Run on older versions of Windows®. If this does not work, you may need
to enter
\\192.168.X.X
where X represents the address of your DBM Server; this can be found by
logging onto your router and checking the connected LAN Devices. For help with this please refer
to your router instruction manual.
On Mac OSX®
open Finder and DBM Server will appear on the left pane under “Shared”.
