Innuous Zen MKII Music Server/Ripper/Harddrive

The Zen MkII Series models were designed to optimise music playback using three key areas: minimising power noise, reducing vibration and optimising firmware. Each of these areas is increasingly built up throughout the range, with the Mini having basic elements such as a floating optical drive platform to reduce vibration, the Zen with its Linear PSU and extensive anti-vibration chassis treatment and the Zenith with its Triple-Linear PSU and SSD storage. ZEN MkII Music Server Series perfectly embodies our core principles to bring Digital Music to new heights.

DIGITAL MUSIC IMPORT

Import Wizards for Existing Libraries

Pre-defined wizards for importing music from USB storage, Music Servers and NAS.

Intelligent Import Engine

innuOS takes all the hard work of importing music by intelligently analysing the music files and applying a number of rules such as:

Organising the music based on format quality (compressed, cd quality or high-resolution), Artist and Album

Removing very long file names or illegal characters

Adding metadata to WAV files based on folder structure

Download from Online Stores

Qobuz, Linn Records, HD Tracks, HiResAudio, B&W Society of Sound, iTunes, Amazon and more. Just download the music files (even if they are in a zip or tar file) to the Auto Import shared folder and the server will take care of adding and updating the music library.

MUSIC LIBRARY MANAGEMENT

Edit or Delete Albums

Browse your library, select the album you want to update and just start editing directly on your tablet or smartphone. You can change the cover, manage genres based on previously used genres or simply delete the album – couldn’t be easier.

Quarantine

Quarantine is a staging area, separate from the Music Library, where any albums requiring attention are placed so they can be fixed before they go into the Music Library. These include:

Albums with no metadata

Ripped albums with damaged tracks

Potentially duplicated albums

Albums ripped offline

 Automatic Music Library Update

After music is added, modified or deleted, the library is automatically updated as well as any connected systems such as Sonos or UPnP Streamers.
