Wiim Ultra USB disk and folder viewing from Notebook.

[lisa]

From my Notebook, I see the Wiim Ultra disk and can explore its folders with Music Albums. Of these, however, I only see the music files. I don't see other files like .txt .jpg etc.etc.
Furthermore, it is not possible to move albums from one folder to another, add folders, etc. as in a normal unit. Isn't it possible to do this?

What do you mean by the WiiM Ultra disk - a usb drive attached to the Ultra?

When you attach a drive to the Ultra, it presents its media contents as a UPNP media server to other devices on your network, so you’ll only see those audio files that media server can handle. Text and image files are not audio so are not indexed or presented to other UPNP clients.

Also, since the attached drive is presented as a media server, not as a file system, you can’t move files or folders around.

That's normal, unless they add "NAS" type support where USB HDD is seen as a drive, where you can access and modify the files.

Would be useful feature

Ok, thanks for the replies. However, it would be useful to have this possibility to move, add, sort your USB disk without having to disconnect it every time, work offline and then index it again.
