Tried to search this thread and Google for an answer, perhaps I didn't use the right keywords, so here goes...
I'm a long time Foobar2000 user and don't stream. 95% of my library is FLAC, 5% mp3. I currently use an HP mini PC>Topping DAC>integrated amp with my speaker rig, but I would much prefer to simplify that.
My thoughts were to use a 512GB SSD that pulls only 2.1 watts connected to the USB port on the Wiim Amp, and control everything using the WiiM app on an Amazon Fire HD 10. Bad eyes = a need a bigger screen than my phone.
How flexible is the Wiim app in configuring user-defined playlists for content on the USB drive?
My issue is that for all genres other than classical, my playlists are per performing group; one subfolder in a main music folder, with each album a subfolder in the group subfolder.
However, for classical, I prefer to put all works by a composer in a single subfolder/each album a subfolder and just drag that into a composer playlist rather than performer playlist.
How well does the app handle that? I read here that some users have experienced intermittent indexing issues. The folder that contains all my content has close to 15,000 files and 1600 subfolders--is that a problem?
EDIT: Found the link to the app user manual, and if I interpret it correctly, there's no simple way to generate playlists other than accessing each cut and adding it individually. I hope that's not entirely true.
Thanks!
