Hi -- I use a Synology 413j NAS to hold my JRiver library folders, of which I have 2: "Main Library" and "DSD Library". Recently I embarked on a project to upsample all my PCM files to double DSD. The .dsf DSD files are transferred from my Zuma computer the to DSD Library folder on the 413j. I set JRIver to auto-import files from the DSD Library folder on the Synology server. I do the upsampling with Korg Audiogate software, which exports the .dsf files to the DSD Library folder. All proceeds normally. But then, hours later, or maybe the next day, I notice that files have been moved from the DSD Library folder to the Recycling bin on the Synology server; more precisely, somehow there is a "DSD Library" subfolder within the Recycling Bin that somehow was created. I naturally assumed the Synology OS was doing something flakey, and badgered them for the past few weeks to get an answer.
When the answer finally came an hour ago, it was cryptic and explains nothing. It does, naturally, blame JRiver for the problem. Here is the e-mail I received:
Hi David,
Our developers have confirmed and can reproduce the fact that JRiver will delete any and all data from the "JRiver library path" which on the Disk Station is /volume1/audio hold/DSD Library
Our recommendation is to not put any files in that directory. I would recommend following up with JRiver about your issue.
****************
This makes absolutely no sense at all to me. Why would JRiver delete files from this particular library and not my "Main Library" folder when I put stuff there? Is there something inherently evil/wrong with the name "DSD Library" for the folder? Why is this issue not rampant with other JRiver / Synology users --- there have to be quite a few out there. Just insanely frustrating. I have not been able to talk to anyone directly involved in this case at Synology.
If you wish more gory detail, I started a thread on Computer Audiophile a week ago:
