How do I copy my existing FLAC files (or MP3,WAV, DSD) to my system?
Adding your existing FLAC files to your system is easy. On most systems you will find the system network filing (sonicorbiter/storage/music/flac) You can then copy music across your network using drag/drop, copy/paste
If you do not find the network folders easily:
1. On your Windows* system press “Win+R” (that’s the flag button next to Alt key and the R key at the same time)
2. In the Run window type \\sonicorbiter and click OK This will bring up a window for your system
3. Click in SONICORBITER -> STORAGE -> music -> flac this is the folder where all the music is stored.
4. Now drag all your FLAC files to this folder.
After adding files to a folder you must re-scan Squeezebox server to index them. (From web GUI (Squeezebox server/settings) or Squeezebox remote. (Roon indexes automatically. If using Sonos rescan from the Sonos player, if using DLNA players rescan from the DLNA web GUI)
When Nova is ripping a new CD it will put the music in the FLAC folder and create a new directory called <Artist>-<Album>. You can store your music in any directory structure you choose but this is how it sets it up by default. If the Autorescan plug-in is enabled it re-indexes Squeezebox server after every RIP.
If you have album art for your album put it in with the music and call it cover.jpg. Install Bliss to help with album art management and tag/genre editing
*MAC users can follow a similar process with FINDER
