Many CDs or sets of imported music, especially classical, are not really ‘albums’ but collections of songs or works. The Melco Intelligent Music Library system automatically senses whether each CD or download is classical or not and returns searches based on works (if necessary) rather than albums, unless albums were requested.Ĭonventionally, browsing for a whole album is easy but finding the constituent elements or works becomes very difficult without Melco Intelligent Music Library multi-disc sets or compilations, for example, fail to browse correctly if treated as albums," Melco details.
Clever ‘Profiles’ also allow the browse experience to be changed based on the main types of music searches – rock and pop, jazz and classical etc., to fully exploit the full extent of the metadata available from SongKong, regardless of the player or control point app.
After SongKong reports the exact contents of a library with all existing metadata, it will source additional metadata and create new tags in a consistent format, creating a new HTML file or spreadsheet reports of the library showing all additional metadata.

Users are then able to apply manual edits to just a single track or single album as well using the simple web interface. Melco (Maki Engineering Laboratory Company) was established by Makoto Maki in 1975 in Japan as a manufacturer of the finest audio components of the time. From those early beginnings, Melcoĭeveloped into the largest computer peripherals manufacturer in Japan (Buffalo Inc.), including wireless routers, Ethernet data switches and storage devices such as NAS drives. More recently, the company revived its Melco brand, offering high-quality network audio components and storage devices in the spirit of the much-revered early Melco products. MinimServer was created by Simon Nash in 2012 to provide a UPnP server with a better browsing experience for classical music than other UPnP servers available at the time.
These servers were based around a fixed browsing hierarchy using a limited set of tags (primarily Genre, Artist and Album) with limited options for customizing the browsing experience.
