Adding Music to the Server

Adding your music collection to the Music Library — is probably the first thing you’d want to do —

soon after installing the Stack Audio Music Server. The powerful CD ripping capabilities of Stack Audio Music Server — make it incredibly easy to populate the server’s Music Library with music

from CDs.

To transfer music from a CD, just place the disk on the CD tray and Stack Audio Music Server will

immediately start copying the music files. It normally takes up-to 5 minutes to copy an entire audio

CD to the server. After the contents of the disk have been added to the Music Library, the disk will

automatically pop-out of the unit.

Now, if you view the Music Library by pressing the green button on the remote, you’ll find the new

additions displayed in the Music Library — complete with details such as: album title, artist, track-

title, track duration etc.
