The TwonkyMedia can scan your hard drive for music, picture and video content. It automatically extracts the available metadata. For WAV files a file naming schema is supported, which enables you to provide information about the title, album and artist of the music track.
The TwonkyMedia is integrated with existing media management tools like Winamp, iTunes and Photoshop Album. It utilizes the metadata libraries of these tools. Playlists created with Winamp or the Windows Media Player can be imported by the MediaServer as well.
For client devices that do not directly support Internet radio, the TwonkyMedia acts as a proxy and translates Internet radio stations. For these clients each radio station is interpreted as one never-ending MP3 song that can be selected and played like a locally available piece of music.
From the avialable metadata TwonkyMedia automatically creates a navigation tree.
