Gave it a try and it won't connect with my Sonore streamers. Similar recognition issues with WAV.
Things used to be so much simpler before streaming.

I was able to update my device to My cloud 0S.5.Fretless wrote: ↑Tue Mar 21, 2023 12:25 pm Just received an interesting link from network-boffin Lazmo warning of possible problems / dangers on older models of Western Digital NAS devices and thought it wise to pass it on to any others here who may be interested:

WD have had to change their firmware in order to fix some serious bugs in the OS, at the expense of certain functionality (which would explain why some streaming devices won't work with the new model MyCloud).
My new NAS has the fix so should be okay (fingers crossed).
Thanks Lazmo!
Have not had a CD player for years, except in the car. I do not use that as I plug in a flash drive containing my rips.
I can't understand why some folks are not using dedicated streamers.slinger wrote: ↑Tue Mar 21, 2023 3:06 pm Guys, out of interest, why haven't you given your storage setup the same importance as the rest of your systems?
Surely investing in a "proper" NAS setup, using something like the Synology boxes I use would make sense. You can pick them up at reasonable prices on eBay, and add your own HQ hard drives. I think there's a decent increase in quality from home/consumer-oriented boxes, to business-class storage, including easy setup of RAID 1, "mirrored" storage, which is the system I use, and which is the simplest way to protect your music files against disk failure. The Synology OS (which is the only one I know) has a complete set of tools - and downloadable add-ons - to make whatever you want to do, easier.
You've already upgraded the rest of your networks, cabling, router, etc., and yet you're neglecting what to me is possibly the most important part of it, the integrity of your file storage.
I'd be interested in Lindsay's views on this.
