Article: Aurender W20 Review

[Matthew Hoult]

Hello Chris

 

I think I may have solved this. I have had to remove the app from the iPad and reinstall it this has corrected the album artwork error. I have made sure that I have a .jpg folder in each album folder one for the front album named as front.jpg and if so one for the rear album cover named as back.jpg this has resolved the issue.

Chris, just set up the W20 with a Berkeley RS via AES. The sound is fantastic. But I'm having difficulty figuring out how to set up a Synology to back up automatically. Can you walk me through how you did it?

I have the same question.

 

From the article there is the statement:

"From my Synology DS1812+ I set the File Manager to connect to the W20 HDD1 and HDD2 drives and check the box to automatically reconnect upon reboot of the NAS. Once connected the W20 drives appear just like local folders on the NAS. I then setup a backup task that copies all music on both W20 hard drives to a folder on the Synology NAS."

 

I've played around with this and: 1) don't have a "File Manager" on my Synology, so maybe the name has changed since 2012; and 2) cannot a find a similar function that does this.

 

Any suggestions anybody?

It's now named File station.

Thanks, I had already spent time in "File Station" but still didn't see how this was done - is there some clear step by step process you can point me to? thx.

Here are a couple screenshots of mounting the W20 on the Synology.

@skolis - Another cool thing you can do with the Synology is backup the data to an Amazon Cloud Drive. For $60 per year Amazon gives you unlimited storage.

 

It could work like this, and all backups are automatic once setup:

 

Aurender > backed up to Synology

 

Synology > backed up to Amazon Cloud Drive
