USB on Ultra, can I play them on my Mini?

[Steve Woodhouse]

I have both an Ultra and Mini. I have a number of audio files on a USB drive plugged into the Ultra.

Is there any way to access them on the Mini?

Many thanks.

Did you try it?

Not tried it myself, but my understanding is that the ultra (and amp) expose the connected usb drive as a media server.
Edit: i.e. Browse, Home Music Share.

How would I go about finding this on the Mini? Cheers.

Got it! Thank you.

That’s bizarre, though. The icon for that is right at the top of the Browse page. Whilst, if I’m on the Ultra, I have to scroll down a long way to select USB, making it easier to play the Ultra’s USB files on the Mini than on the Ultra.

Actually, I’ve just had a look, and I can play files from the USB using Home Music Share on the Ultra, too.

Thanks again.

So, to sum it up for future generations: Yes.
