Mustu Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Hello I have a Melco and I have about 3 TB of music on there. I have taken a back up of the same. How ever I want to copy my music to another hard disk and it will not let me do so cause of the art work file. IS there a work around. At the moment I need to go to each folder remove the art work file and then copy it which is a long painful process. All the music is mine that has been Ripped by the Melco Ripper. Thanks Link to comment
jacobacci Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 My Melco behaves the same. I have taken a different approach to manage music on the Melco. I keep my music on an external HD (which I call 'Melco Shuttle'). I keep a backup of this HD on my NAS. I then import the Melco Shuttle into the Melco. In my experience, backup, tagging etc. are best handled outside the Melco Link to comment
WAM Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 This is how it works in our system. All files are on the Melco (app. 2 TB), for a backup I use an external usb-drive. Works flawless. Hope this helps. Link to comment

Can you use the existing backup only with a Melco device ? If you can access it with IOS/(LINUX/Windows, just batch delete the problematic cover/art work files and let the other server add them - if it has that feature ... You may want to first copy the Melco backup to another 3 TB disc in order to avoid to manipulate the original backup. Link to comment
WAM Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 You want to make a copy from the backup? Or from the Melco-drive? I did a little testing. I can copy a directory (with artwork) without trouble to another drive. I can use/read a backup (USB-drive) with other software. Do you use Twonky, or Mimimserver? DuckToller 1 Link to comment

WAM Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I can approach the files on the Melco drive with my MacBook. Then it’s copy+paste. You could try it with a few files, see what happens. Hope this helps. Link to comment

WAM Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Did not think of that one. But that’s also possible. @Mustuwhat is the format of your artwork files? JPEG and PNG should both work fine. Link to comment
