![]() The introduction of the EX Series also sees the roll-out of a capacity upgrade in the flagship SSD-based HA-N1Z/2EX-S40 Melco’s engineers have been able to increase 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.Ĭontrol 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.įurther features include vTuner Internet radio, which has also been implemented in conjunction with an updated version of the Melco Music HD app and features intuitive radio searching by genre, region and broadcaster, plus web control, which allows all Melco units to be controlled from an internet-connected device ideal for local playback into a USB DAC. The system also benefits from simple one-touch processes including, ‘find additional metadata’, ‘add missing art’ and ‘replace all missing data with new’. ![]() and automates the process of re-tagging, using a variety of additional databases and sophisticated algorithms to intelligently replace (or supplement) the original metadata. Integrating SongKong for Melco into the hardware gives a unique solution to troublesome metadata issues, such as missing album art etc. The concept of a ‘work’ for classical music means that rather than browse for a classical album, which will likely contain more than one work, it is now possible to browse or search directly for the work. Crucially, 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. 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. ![]() The MinimServer software offers four comprehensive browse and search ‘profiles’, each offering relevant tags for rock, jazz and classical, along with an ultra-simple default. New software for the user interface on the units’ 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. The new MIML software upgrades deliver new standards of convenience and capability for Melco’s class-leading digital music libraries existing models can be upgraded, too.įirst previewed at High End, Munich, earlier in 2019, MIML offers the clever integration of a powerful metadata engine, SongKong for Melco, plus an advanced UPnP Server, MinimServer 2, into Melco’s hardware. It enables music lovers to enjoy a superior browse and search experience, even with classical music. MIML is unique to Melco and is an industry first. The EX upgrades include the recently announced Melco Intelligent Music Library (MIML), vTuner Internet radio, plus web control from network-connected devices, including smartphones, tablets and PCs. The new EX Series centres around the introduction of a powerful new software suite to Melco’s existing time-proven hardware. Melco has launched the EX Series, representing a major step forward for the audiophile-grade digital music library platform.
