I have been using the Brennan B2 and BB1 for more than three years and have been very satisfied! These are truly great devices and have allowed me to digitize all my iTunes and CDs in to one complete library.
Unfortunately, success with the Brennan B2 has led to a growing problem for me. With more than 3700 albums now residing on my B2, I forget what I have in the library! Might be my memory (getting older I guess) but I find it more difficult to navigate to music with all these albums.
I use Plex for Movies and some music and love the visual portrayal of the web interface that quickly shows album covers and allows quick drill down to album songs - all portrayed visually. As an example, if I want to find an album for the group "Heart", I type it I and immediately all 17 album covers show up. Easy to then pick the album. The difference here is the visual album cover portrayal vs. the listing of the B2 interface. Another example would be the ability to "show" all albums in the library, depicted by album covers, in alphabetical order. I might not remember the Doors album I am looking for but seeing the album cover helps recall what I am looking for.
While the B2 web UI is quite functional I am wondering if there is a way to use a more visual web UI with the B2 - Plex as an interface would be perfect or something similar. Something that would allow me to browse the B2 library, select and have the B2 connected to my stereo directly play the music that I select?
Perhaps others have figured this out already. I would welcome any ideas to try.
Thanks.
