Configuring the Remote Library

SuperSync lets you see two music libraries at once. The primary local library should already be open and showing your music. A remote library can be a local/network hard drive of music, an iPod, or another networked SuperSync.

Now is the time to decide what kind of library you'd like to connect to and where your music will be saved. Most of the time you'll want to connect to another SuperSync over a network. However, other times you'll want to load a second library from a disk or iPod.

Once your second library is open, go to the next section on Synchronization.

Note: Before you can connect to another SuperSync, you'll need to enable the server on another SuperSync that is configured with the library you'd like to sync to. To enable the SuperSync server, go to the section on Network Settings under the preferences.

To open a SuperSync server on your Local Area Network, look in the Remote menu under the popup menu under "Connect to LAN Server". You may be asked for a password and your library should load.

To open a SuperSync server by address, for instance over the Wide Area Network, select from the Remote menu Connect to server...

To configure a remote library, select File > Configure Remote Library or click the Remote button in the player toolbar. The remote library configuration window opens with four options:

Updating The Remote Library

After changes are made to the remote library, the library contents as displayed by SuperSync can be refreshed by selecting Remote > Rescan Remote Library. Any changes made to the library since the last rescan are reflected in the library display. Note that this option is not available if a remote library is not selected or accessible.
