Asset is a UPnP (DLNA
compatible) audio server, UPnP is a method of sharing media content
between devices. Typically audio files are stored on a
computer, server or NAS, multiple
audio devices around the home network can play audio from the UPnP server (devices
such as Linn DS, XBox 360, PS3, etc).
Asset features:
- Designed from the ground up as an audio only UPnP
server,
- Internet Radio: browse popular stations from
around the world,
- Dynamic playlists: find newest, least or most
played tracks & albums. Jukebox (random) selection,
- Customizable browse tree with advanced search
facilities (Album by Release, Style, Composer, Conductor...),
- Configurable Wave, LPCM or mp3 decoding (no quality
loss) for devices which cannot play specific audio types,
-
Capture the PC sound output and stream to a UPnP player (Windows 7 &
Vista),
- ReplayGain can be applied to Wave, LPCM and mp3 stream,
volume matching across tracks for devices which have no support,
- Runs efficiently in the background detecting new
& changed tracks,
-
Dynamic Browsing, include / Exclude Genres, or Years with ease
When looking at other UPnP servers, you
would be surprised how they get the simple things wrong, such
as separating out albums with the same name, after all you
could have 10 Greatest Hits albums. With Asset UPnP the
attention to detail is 2nd to none.
