Twonky Server and playlists

Goobie: I want to be able to add music to a queue directly from Twonky at minimum and while it sort of has the ability it's not very good because I can't just keep addin gsongs.

I'd really love to use iTunes playlists as well.
 
I've got Thecus N2100. I've just recently had to un-RAID the drives to free up some space, and it's now running in JBOD mode which worries me a little 'cus it's my backup drive for our laptops. I might have to look at upgrading. I've been very happy with it. It's a wonderful little entry-level device.

Sorry can't help you with that. I use Twonky with the old Netgear MP101, it uses m3U playlists from Winamp. I add new songs in winamp and Twonky takes care of the rest.
 
@Goobie Thanks I guess it can't do that. But it would be awesome. I'll send in a request.

@silentbee How do you access the file system on it? I would like a normal share instead of the FTP server I have now for easy access. I went and got a WD 1Tb harddrive and am letting dd-wrt on my router handle the NAS :)

Various folders on the NAS are mounted as drives on our PCs / laptops -- M: for Media, etc. iTunes / Zune / WMP / etc are directed to these drives for their music. DLNA compliant devices, like Blu-Ray players / Android phones see the Twonky server and I can browse the folders it 'creates' -- Artist / Album / Genre / etc. There's a setting in Twonky to change how these 'folders' are exposed to each device. I haven't experimented with that too much, I just keep them all on full folder list, or whatever they call it, and I typically get a list of 'folders' that are akin to the actual folder on the NAS. You can go into Video and select something like All and get a huge list of a million TV shows, which is not useful.

I hope that's what you asked. I'm not very knowledgeable about networking, and I've just kind of cobbled this whole thing together.
