Listening from usb stick

[tim3838]

Recently got my Wiim amp and slotted in my usb stick with 500 ish tracks on it .
On playing them back, if I want to skip to the next track it just starts the current song again . Once that song ends it stops playback until I choose another track. It won't continually play my library.
Also, can I shuffle playback once the above problem has been resolved ?
I realise I'm probably being very thick here but would appreciate any help.
Thanks
Tim

How are you starting playback as it sounds like you've only one track in the queue.

Hi, thanks for replying .
After seeing your screenshot I see you have to queue each track and then you can shuffle them . Is there a quick way to queue all 500 or so tracks without doing them one by one ?

You can Play/Shuffle from the Tracks index:

Got it. Thanks very much

First, I connected a USB stick with 5 albums... the Wiim Amp Ultra scanned them and everything was fine.

Then I connected an external USB hard drive including NT with approx. 260 albums, which took about 20 minutes to scan. So far, so good.

When I clicked on USB Input, chaos ensued.

Almost ALL albums were duplicated, the covers were assigned incorrectly, and the best is yet to come.

Earlier, I wanted to listen to the external hard drive again, but it no longer exists in the Wiim cache. Instead, the 5 albums that I imported on Wednesday with the USB stick are there.

So far, I'm treating it as a test before connecting my entire library (8 TB NAS).

Do I have to delete the contents of the USB stick first and then import new data?

I became suspicious when I removed the USB stick from the Wii, which was turned off, imported three new albums onto the stick, and they did not appear, or rather, the Wii did not want to import anything.

When I click on USB Input, the 5 albums from the USB stick that is not connected appear, but when I click on one of the 5 albums, an album from the connected external hard drive appears...so something is being masked, right?

Did you eject the USB devices before removing them?

Note that the WiiM device is never off, only in standby. There is always power on the USB.

The WHA stores a copy (transformed for presentation purposes) of the database from the USB drive, so you'll need to perform a rescan each time you switch to make sure they're in sync.

I disconnected the 230 V power supply and, when I switched it back on, no scanning took place, at least as far as I could see.

How do I call up such a scan process?

To rescan, use the menu (3 dots) in the USB Media Library page.

Thanks for the input.

Due to a problem of my own making, at least part of it is okay, but

I ejected the hard drive and had it scanned again.
237 albums with ~ 10 tracks per album equals approximately 2370 tracks. The scanned result is 3326, ~ 40% of which are duplicates.

Just in Time

And the best part

Even though the hard drive was ejected by the Wiim software, the albums are still there

Could it be because the external hard drive has its own power supply?

I read something similar on Reddit
