It is possible to upgrade the N1A/2 to EX spec, this from a well known dealer in Newcastle, UK which may be what you need, I’m on software 4.10 which is the most recent:
#Songkong pro update
If your getting an error then I would speak to Melco I don’t remember and issue with the original install, I had both Songkong and Minim installed before they became imbedded but I uninstalled them before I did the update that installed them by Melcos update process. The songkong licence I carried over from my original use on a pc.

You can make Roon prefer Songkongs tags which can sometimes be an advantage in my library, if I get frustrated with Roon there is always folder/file browsing with Minim and the Naim app.Īs I remember it when I first started Minim was quite basic, I think they have gone for a subscription model where you renew for new feature each year. You do both procedures via a browser, I find Chrome works best.
#Songkong pro install
You can also install it on a pc and run it from there to interrogate your Melco if you prefer. Songkong is very useful for adding cleaning up tags and artwork, I find and the changes are quite customisable depending on how invasive you want it to be. Personally I preferred the sound from Minim over Twonky but Minim is more difficult to use, you would have to try both to see which you prefer the difference in some music is quite pronounced if you like Classical go Twony if you like Rock go Minim would be my synopsis. You can contact Melco through their web site also they are fast to respond if you have a problem. I also run Roon from a NUC through the N10 to my NDX2 both direct by ethernet and via USB through a Berkeley Audio Design Alpha USB usb/spdif converter (see my profile for my set up). Later Melco software may integrate aspects of Songkong and Minim - here I am presently out of the loop as I still have my old Melco (N1Zh-2 - 6TB HD) and software and have not used the later version - others will give the accurate I’m running an N10 with EX, Songknong and Minim both work very well, I have licence for both which you can do through their respective websites. The Melco had originally the Twonky server software installed which I prefer SQ-wise over Minim server software which I also tried - thinking that there would be no difference in SQ and finding in my set-up otherwise. After that it seems to die and become inactive. No - Songkong is a separate bit of software that got bundled with Melco Server boxes with an initial ‘trial’ version that allows you to do useful but limited edits for a while (a year or so) before deciding if you want to pay for the license to enable full use. I guess this has to do with the lack of the latest EX software? When scanning the small amount of cd`s I have ripped from musicfix from the Mac, it says scanning done, but no changes made due to preview version. Second, I have activated Songkong for metadata admin.
