    Which 4 Bay NAS Enclosure?

    I‘ve had a QNAP 253D with 2 x 18TB drives and 32Gb ram for a few years now, and am really happy with it. It runs MinimServer and Plex without problem, including serving 4K rips. Plus it is our network file server and holds backup images of our other devices. It’s a fine bit of kit. I had...

    Need better sound from TV; Soundbar or amp/spkrs?

    If you wish to route the TV sound into a hi-fi system, then it depends on whether you want to use your TV remote to change the volume, or whether your happy to use the hi-fi’s volume control. Optical connections carry no volume information. HDMI ARC does. But, according to the Internet, HDMI...

    Novice computer music question re. file organisation

    It’s all in the metadata - i.e. the textual tags that should be embedded within each file. If you rip CDs with a tool like the excellent dBpoweramp, it will do the tagging for you. You can then tweek them manually, if necessary, with mp3tag. If they already exist but have empty tags, you can...

    So you just set up a new turntable. What's the first record you stick on and why?

    When my Logic DM101 came back from refettling after several years out of use, the missus made me play The Osmonds Greatest Hits as first disc. Jim.

    Software to organize ripped films

    Probably not the answer you’re looking for, but all my DVDs and Blu-Rays are ripped onto a Qnap NAS running the free Plex server sotware. I watch them on my old-fashioned Plasma TV using the Plex client on an Apple TV. Many smart TVs have Plex built in. The movies (and TV shows) are organised...
