It all sounds very interesting, so let's take a look and see how it works in practice. You can create playlists of media items from across the web, continue browsing while playing media on a device and bookmark your favourite sites for future streaming. Twonky Beam is primarily aimed at internet video, but it also works with audio and photos. The home page contains links to popular websites and you can easily return to this page by tapping the Twonky logo in the app. When you visit a website, Twonky Beam displays a Twonky Beam button over the media files that you are able stream to another device. Twonky Beam is an enhanced browser that is available for both Android and iOS and provides a simple and familiar way to discover and enjoy internet videos on your tablet or smartphone and then stream or 'beam' them to your Smart TV, Apple TV or other media players on your home network. You can use Twonky products to share your favourite media with PCs, TVs, stereos and other devices connected to your network and Twonky products work with Windows, Mac, Linux, Mobile and the Web. The idea behind Twonky's suite of products is to offer computer and mobile applications, as well as an enhanced media website, to help you easily enjoy personal and online music, photos and videos. The modern day Twonky isn't trying to dominate your life but it is trying to make it a little easier thanks to some very inventive software. Anyone interested in catching this forgotten masterpiece can find it on YouTube, just don't expect production values, good acting or a coherent plot. However the Twonky Beam is an app, which is a first for us and better than that, it's free! Twonky take their name from a little know 50s B-movie called The Twonky, which is about a man whose life becomes dominated by his TV - we know the feeling. It is a different thing entirely, so for all intents and purposes the music servers are irrelevant in what you want to do - assuming you want to convert your music files to some other format? You would need to create a network drive from your computer to your NAS music directory, then you can access the files from music converter (not Twonky).We get to review quite a range of products here at AVForums, one day it's an £18,000 projector, the next it's a £100 Blu-ray player. They don t touch the files themselves, only read them.ĭbPoweramp music converter works on the files themselves, stored on your NAS. Music servers (or media servers) scan your files to create a sorted and coherent database to present to your control point (kazoo) for you to browse/search/select and play. Twonky is a music server, like Asset UPnP or Kazoo Server. Whether it is or is not, can and should files available there be processed by dBPoweramp and if so how? (Ultimately, the files are played using Linn Kazoo and Linn server.) Thanks for any insight.hopefully very simply stated!Hoipe I can explain: I suppose question one is whether twonky is the equivalent of dBPoweramp. I can access them via the lap top under media devices. That said, my problem is how to use dBPoweramp processing on the music files stored on a WD My Cloud Mirror NAS and also stored, or perhaps just accessible, on my laptop in Twonky. thus even asking coherent questions is a challenge. Unfortunately, my computer understanding is limited.
