PLAYING FROM YOUR HOME
NETWORK
Musaic works with your home network to play
music from NAS drives, Macs or PCs which
have a UPnP™ / DLNA™ server installed. A NAS
(Network Attached Storage) drive is a stand-
alone, always-on, networked hard-drive that has
such a server pre-installed. These drives allow an
always available music library for the whole home.
Alternatively it is possible to run a server on a Mac
or Windows PC (desktop or laptop) and achieve
the same functionality. The only downside of this
approach is that the desktop / laptop will need to
be on for its music library to be available to the
Musaic units in your house.
Windows PCs generally include a free UPnP
server built in, this functionality is turned off by
default but can be easily turned on.
See our website for more details on NAS drives,
how to turn on the server functionality for Windows
PCs and for help on installing servers in general.
To play from a music library on a suitable server
first select the Music Libraries menu in the
Musaic app.
The Musaic system allows music to be selected
in various ways and added to a playback queue
as below.
Selecting music by Album
1. Tap Albums
2. Choose the album you want to listen to.
You have multiple options when playing an
album. If you have nothing in your queue, play
the whole album by tapping Add Album to
Queue. If there is already music in the queue,
this will add the album to the bottom of the
queue. If you have music in the queue and wish
to replace it with the album, tap Replace Queue
with Album.
