Complete Media Management

Home Media Server lets you manage your digital music, pictures, and movies in one easy-to-use solution.

Rating Wizard

Home Media Server’s patent-pending ratings wizard takes the hassle out of rating your digital media. Starting the wizard automatically plays unrated content; rating it automatically skips to the next one. Become the critic you know you are.

Rating View

You can rate all the music, pictures, and movies you have on a 1-5 star basis. Home Media Server automatically gives you a ratings view, allowing you, for example, to look at only pictures you rated 5 stars or listen only to music that you rated 3 stars or better.

Date View

It’s easy to find any picture you want with Home Media Server’s Date View. You can quickly flip through your pictures by month and year – just as long as you remember when you took the picture. Sorry, we can’t help you there – but hopefully our Date View will make it easier to find what you are looking for.

Customized Labels

Become the true master of your digital media with Home Media Server’s Customized Labels. You can change the title of a picture or movie, add captions to pictures, change the genre of a song or group of songs? After all, it is YOUR digital media.

CD Ripping

Enjoy the convenience of building your music library in the same application you are using to manage it. Record your favorite CDs onto your PC as MP3 or WMA files, then play your music on all your favorite devices. Home Media Server makes this process easy by automatically assigning artist name, album name, track titles, cover art, and more.

Podcasts

Podcasts hard to find? With Home Media Server’s podcast directory service, it’s easy to find audio and video podcasts that you actually care about. We’ll even synchronize them to your favorite devices (that’s what we call – Smartsync’ing).

Media Transfer to Devices

With Home Media Server it's easy to transfer your digital media to and from your favorite compatible devices.

Smartsync Filters

Using Home Media Server’s Smartsync Filters, you can easily select the music, pictures, movies, and podcasts you want to sync to each of your connected devices. You might think of Smartsync Filters as smart playlists made for your electronic gadgets. So go ahead, load up your cell phone with family pictures and relaxing jazz music, but fill up your PSP with some good old-fashioned rock & roll and your favorite video podcast. It’s your media, do what you want with it.

Video Transcoding

Want to view your digital movies on your favorite devices like Nokia NSeries cell phones, iPod, or PSP? Don’t know how to make the files compatible?

Home Media Server makes it easy. Video Transcoding will ensure that your video files will play seamlessly on your devices. Oh, and don’t worry – your original file format will remain untouched.
