Iomega cloud NAS

[kevin smith]

Hi, I have recently purchased an Iomega NAS Cloud to store my music on. How or is it possible to transfer tracks/albums with cross fading/no gaps between tracks on MonkeyMedia? I have transferred some albums already to the iomega but there is a delay between tracks and some just end suddenly. They play fine on MonkeyMedia and also on Windows media player. Any advice would be appreciated as I am a novice and still learning and struggling. Thank you>

You can't "transfer" files with crossfading with MediaMonkey. It's up to the Media Player used to implement silence removal, crossfading etc.

IIRC Iomega uses the Pogo lashup for internet access (they did a couple years ago) and Pogo keeps changing things so much such that even those with their device (Pogoplug) get messed up. Now their big thing is backup, and anything else takes a 2nd or 3rd seat to that. Plus...the pogo stuff requires everything goes thru internet -- it's not really NAS. All connections go thru their web servers instead of to a local quad-four address.

Works OK if you are "out and about" and trying to listen to your music from a smart phone 40 miles from home (except it takes lots of clicking on the phone and you do not want to try it while driving...too complex, worse attention diverter than texting.) but not so well if you are at home and want to listen from your lan. For that a plain old non-cloud LAN works better. And if you set up ftp access to that NAS,...problem solved.

My recollection about the Pogo thing may be outdated by now.
