Then I shut down / restart the machine (which probably unmounts the NAS), remount it (if not already mounted at startup), start VOX and receive the “failed to load” errors. => Well, yes, but I restart the client in between: I mount the NAS, import the music folder (“Playlist” tab), stream them. My VOX client says “No Collections” in the collections tab.ĭid you try Import some files to VOX, Unmount your NAS, Mount it again and try to start a playback? => no, the music files remain in the “Playlist” tab. To answer your detailed questions on my inquiry:Īre you saving your music files using the Collections, right? Do I understand correctly, that after importing the Files to the Playlist, I would have to add them to a “Collection”, in order to make VOX “remember” them? I am not sure if I already tried the “Collection” Tab. After some time of loading (importing), the same files appear in the playlist again, and can then be streamed / played again. The only thing I can do then, is to remove all songs from the playlist in VOX and re-import them via Drag&Drop as done before.

When I restart the system and remount the NAS Drive (usually it is already mounted) and then open VOX, I can still see all imported music files in the playlist window of the client, but when I start streaming / playing, I start to get numerous “failed to load” errors (one per file / song). Except for the streaming, the files on the NAS Drive, their tags, locations and whatsoever, remain unchanged. From there I can stream them / listen to them. My approach is usually the following: I mount the NAS Drive and then import the music filed (the folder containing) them via drag and drop (by using the “+” button in VOX) into the VOX client’s playlist. There was a similar post to this dated from April '17, but there was no real solution for the problem, except to use the LOOP cloud, which is currently not my intention when I just want to listen music at home from my NAS.ĭid I do something wrong in my approach of using the VOX player togehter with my NAS? However, I did notice the sound difference when using VOX, so I’d like to keep it, but having to import a 9000+ titles music collection each time when I want to listen to some music is a bit painful. So my question is - is there any way to make VOX “remember” the music files / libraries, that have been imported from a NAS after reboot, so that they can just be played after mounting the NAS? This is the way the other application works that I am testing in parallel. Finally I had to remove the complete collection from the VOX client, import it again from the Finder via Drag&Drop to listen to it. However, after rebooting my machine and remounting the NAS, I could still see the imported files in the VOX client, but when I tried to play them, I started received numerous error messages (one per file, it seems). I imported my music files via Drag&Drop (not sure though, if the import was complete, as I could see no file counter) and I could play / stream them in fantastic quality! I started testing VOX against another music player for streaming my music collection (all FLAC files) from a QNAP NAS to my MacBook (OS X Mojave).
