Share converted to a Music Store will no longer appear in 
the network shares list but will appear in the Music Stores 
list. Only Netwok Shares that are either empty or contain 
previously ripped files may be converted to Music Stores. 

4.8.4 Music Stores

Music Stores are the locations where ripped CD data is 
stored and can include both UnitiServe’s internal hard disk 
and nominated Network Share locations. Selecting 

Music 

Stores

 opens the Music Stores menu to provide options to 

Manage Stores

 and 

Add New Store

Manage Stores:

 Displays a list of connected or previously 

connected music stores and their connection status. Red, 
orange and green indicators describe the status of each 
music store: Red indicates 

unavailable

, orange indicates 

scanning

 and green indicates 

available

.

Music Stores can be raised or lowered in priority or 
removed from the list through 

Up

Down

 and 

Remove

 

buttons. Their 

Status

 can be displayed and their Password 

and Lock 

Settings

 can be modified. 

Newly ripped CD data will be stored on the Music Store 
at position 1 in the list. If that store is full or unavailable, 
the data will be stored on the next available store with 
sufficient free space.

Note:

 Files should never be added to or deleted from 

Music Stores via an alternative computer operating system.

Add New Store:

 Initiates a routine that enables the 

creation, naming and password protection of new Music 
Stores. Music Stores can only be created from existing 
empty Network Shares.

Note:

 Individual Music Stores may be locked to prevent 

ripped data being stored. If the primary Music Store is 
locked, the next in line will automatically be used to store 
newly ripped data.
