then become an headless Audiophile Music Player. Headless
means that the only way to control it will be with another Mobile
phone, computer or tablet.
This is made possible by Volumio’s UI: a web applications that
runs on any device with a browser, and that allows an easy and
intuitive control of your playback sessions. All communications
between the webapp and Volumio will happen through your
home network.
We added a program to this volumio, and it will function
exclusively for RAPNAS.

Additional Information
• This section describes about general ideas of DLNA (Digital
Living Network Alliance) and NAS (Network Attached Storage).
This Unit
DLNA
“DLNA” stands for Digital Living Network Alliance, and is a
guideline to promote standardization of interconnection of
home network devices such as digital consumer electronics.
DLNA components are separated into four device classes:
Digital Media Server (DMS), Digital Media Renderer (DMR),
Digital Media Player (DMP) and Digital Media Controller (DMC).
“Digital Media Server (DMS)” is a device that is used to store or
distribute digital contents such as music files. For the system
using this unit, PCs and NAS are regarded as “Digital Media
Server (DMS)”.
“Digital Media Controller (DMC)” is a device to control digital
contents. The dedicated mobile device application corresponds
to “Digital Media Controller (DMC)” for the system using this
unit.
“Digital Media Renderer (DMR)” is a device to receive
instructions from “Digital Media Controller (DMC)” and play
back digital contents such as this unit.
Similarly, “Digital Media Player (DMP)” is a device that can play
back digital contents stored on “Digital Media Server (DMS)”.
NAS
“NAS” stands for Network Attached Storage. By connecting
your NAS and home network with a network cable directly,
NAS can be a storage device, such as a hard disc drive. If your
NAS is compatible with DLNA, you can share your music,
pictures, or movies on the same home network as a digital
media server.
