Adding to a long list of multimedia applications QNAP now includes easy integration with Roon, the music listening software that’s changing the game in the world of audio. If you’re interested in setting up your own audio system with QNAP and Roon, this tutorial will show you how to do it.
Importing photos/videos to a QNAP NAS In Photo Station, contents are displayed according to shared folder permissions. For example, if a user has read/write, or read-only permissions to a certain shared folder, that user can see all of the photos and videos in the shared folder. Qfinder Pro, available for Windows, Mac and Linux, allows you to quickly find and easily access all QNAP NAS over the same LAN. Windows version further provides “Storage Plug & Connect” feature.

The main components of Roon are the core, the control, and the output. The core is the “brain” of the software and makes the unique music browsing experience that Roon offers possible; the control is where you actually access the UI to navigate and control your music; And the output is the end point where the music is played. Some downloads available will include all three components in one, while others may only function as one or two of the three. The QNAP implementation of Roon includes both the core and the output but lacks a controller.

- Open App Center app in QTS
- Search for “Roon”
- Click [Install] to install the Roon server app

Once you have Roon installed click the open button to open the app and then when the window opens click the configure button. Here you will select where to store the Roon Core. Make your selection and click save. Now you’ll see the Roon Overview page. Here you can change where the database is stored or restart the Roon server.
As mentioned above The Roon server on QNAP NAS doesn’t include the control, so you won’t actually be accessing the Roon UI on the NAS. For this you will need to use a device with the Roon controller installed on it.

You can use your mobile device as a controller for Roon. Just download the app. When you open the Roon app on your phone make sure that you are connected to the same network that the NAS is on. Once you’ve opened the Roon app all of the available Roon cores on your network will be available.
Click the connect button to choose a core to connect to. After connecting to the core you will be prompted to sign into your Roon account. If you don’t already have a Roon account you can start a free trial.
On the next page you can add your music sources. Click the “Add Folder” button to select a source folder.
Once you have clicked “add folder” you can also add other sources from your network.

First off, you’ll want to make sure that the sound equipment you want to use is connected to the same network as your core and your controller. Once this is established, you can go to the album page and select the output from there. Just click on the down arrow next to the “Play Now” button
and then you can select an output under where it says, “Playing To”.
Now you have everything in place to navigate and play your music. If you want to add more audio sources you can go to the “Audio” section under “Settings” and enable any audio output devices that are connected to the mobile device, the core, or the network.
Now you should have everything you need. Enjoy your music!

Today, we will be focusing on the basics – how to integrate the QNAP NAS into your daily workflow as a creative user. Owning a Mac is more than it seems since for some people it seems simple and often regarded as the “easy-to-use” computer. But for those who rely their lives on a Mac or multiple Macs, understand how intuitive it is and its important stance of our digital lifestyles. I’m not saying that owning a Mac makes you creative user, but as blunt as I may sound, many Mac users appreciate design(either the product itself or in general), and how seamless the integration it is between its creative applications.
Swish app macos. Why do you need a QNAP? Well here is a quick table pointing out some differences in the different types of backup/storage devices that are often seen and used today. With a QNAP NAS, you get much more storage capacity, data protection(RAID), abilities to collaborate, file share and remote access. Life is easier when there’s no need to transfer files through a USB dongle, or external hard drive.

Today we will be going over on some simple demonstrations and scenarios on how to integrate a NAS into your digital lifestyle.
Scenario A.
You are an artist and you create artwork for a living and often uses software such as Adobe illustrator, and sometimes edit photos and images with Adobe Photoshop. You would often find yourself playing with Ai during your spare time and find it fascinating how your brain suddenly becomes more creative when it’s not at work. You save your files onto your personal Mac and under your local folder. Next day, you arrive at work and you forget that your file is saved onto the Mac at home, not anywhere else such as Dropbox or Google Drive.
Solution:
Instead of paying monthly fees you would pay a one time fee (the QNAP NAS).
One year of Google Drive and Dropbox for 1TB of total storage is $9.99 x 12 = ~$120.
$120 a year on fixed storage of 1TB is pretty expensive, as you would end up having to delete some files to not go over 1TB. When you save a video of 120MB+ or more, you would have to use that disk space on your Mac at home and work for that particular file. The public cloud services give you convenience but does not save your Mac’s capacity, and along those lines it is not 100% private.

Suggested workflow(that may work for you)
- Download the file you’d like to work on by dragging the file onto your desktop
- Edit your file like on your normal desktop
- Save the final copy onto your QNAP
- Delete or archive it (if not needed anymore) off your Mac. (You end up saving your capacity, and you’d still have the ability to access, share or edit this file wherever you are)
The QNAP NAS would be useful in this situation. Simply save your files onto the QNAP, and by using FTP, SMB or AFP you could easily access your files on the NAS(stationed at home or work) whenever you want. E.g. Save file under “shared” -> find your NAS name, in this instance mine was called 431Plus (AFP). Note: AFP is the native protocol that offers file services for Mac OSX. Best free mac dvd burning app.
On your Mac, go to the top and click “Go” and then “Connect to Server”
After hitting “Connect” you will have to enter your login credentials. Enter your NAS username, default admin and password is whatever you’ve set.
Select which folder you’d like to go to and when connected to your server, you can then save your file onto the NAS.

After saving the file onto the QNAP NAS, you would then be able to access this file anywhere you want, and either download it to your local workstation, or edit on the spot.
