MelcoвЂ™s newest digital music libraries, the half-width N10 and N100, benefit from more modern architecture which is equipped to auto-update (at no cost) with MelcoвЂ™s next major Internet firmware update вЂ“ V4.01- scheduled for mid-December. Existing machines can be updated to EX specification for a small supplement to reflect the software licenses, labour and shipping costs. Melco is fully committed to supporting its existing user base.

The introduction of the EX Series also sees the roll-out of a capacity upgrade in theВ flagship SSD-based HA-N1Z/2EX-S40 MelcoвЂ™s engineers have been able to increaseВ the SSD drive from 2TB to an impressive 4TB of solid-state storage. New tagged metadata is then available to MinimServer and the tight integration of the two creates a very fast and intuitive user interface.Д¬ontrol of SongKong is from a simple web interface (control device/tablet or PC) and includes the creation of detailed report of tags across the whole library, allowing for easy selection and replacement of cover art and metadata for single albums or even whole collections.ДЇurther features include vTuner Internet radio, which has also been implemented in conjunction with an updated version of the Melco Music HD app and features intuitiveВ radio searching by genre, region and broadcaster, plus web control, which allows allВ Melco units to be controlled from an internet-connected device ideal for local playbackВ into a USB DAC. The concept of a вЂworkвЂ™ for classical music means that rather than browse for a classical album, which will likely containВ more than one work, it is now possible to browse or search directly for the work.Дata with newвЂ™. These powerful profiles give users the ability to easily locate music based on browse or search (with supported control points) on any tag in any order, removing the UPnP convention of being forced to browse: artist album song.Д¬rucially, in the classical profile, the addition of tags such as composer or conductor and choir or work, (not just the convention of artist, album or track), gives new levels of accessibility within large classical music collections.

The MinimServer software offers four comprehensive browse and search вЂprofilesвЂ™, each offering relevant tags for rock, jazz and classical, along with an ultra-simple default. New software for the user interface on the unitsвЂ™ OLED display gives greater detail of status and playback, too.

By using MinimServer to browse and search, combined with the sophisticated tagging automatically implemented in SongKong, finding music (within even the largest library) becomes simple. First previewed at High End, Munich, earlier in 2019, MIML offers the integration of a powerful metadata engine, SongKong for Melco, plus an advanced UPnP Server, MinimServer 2, into MelcoвЂ™s hardware.
