Roon Music Library
The Roon music library is managed by the Roon Core installed on the PlayPoint DM. Use the Roon
Remote app to configure the Roon music library. You can find more information about Roon here:
How
Roon works
. Questions about Roon can be posted on the
Roon Community
forum. Step-by-step guide
for configuring the exaSound PlayPoint DM for use with Roon is available on our blog:
How to get
started with Roon and the exaSound PlayPoint - Quick Setup
. You can monitor the library update
progress with the Roon Remote app from your tablet, mobile phone or computer.
The PlayPoint DM can support Roon library with about 128,000 tracks. If your music collection is larger,
use an external Roon server hosted on computer or NAS drive.
The Roon Library can be completely removed by uninstalling the Roon Core.
UPnP Music Library
When a USB drive is connected to a PlayPoint DM for the first time, it will be automatically scanned for
music files. The PlayPoint DM will build a UPnP library (database) with metadata and album art from
your music files. Scanning large USB hard drive may take several hours. The UPnP music library is
available only when there is a USB drive attached to the PlayPoint DM.
After adding or deleting files from the USB drive, the UPnP music library needs to be updated. Press the
Update
button on the Music Library screen. The UPnP icon will stop flashing when the update is
completed.
To delete the UPnP music library:
•
Power off the PlayPoint DM
•
Detach all USB drives
•
Power on the PlayPoint DM
•
Navigate to the
Music Library
screen and tap the
Update
button
To avoid accidental data loss we recommend powering down the exaSound PlayPoint DM
before disconnecting a USB drive.
Always maintain a backup copy of your music files. We will not be responsible for any data
loss. Never disconnect a USB drive during playback.
