FAQ

Q1: If I link my Aurender with ACS, do I lose my original content on Aurender?

A: No, you don’t. Your content on Aurender is safely stored, and once you unlink from ACS, you will see that it is preserved.

Q2: Why isn’t my Melon Streaming Account synced with my Aurender?

A: Due to Melon Streaming’s policy, you have to sign in again on your Aurender. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Q3: My Aurender operates in standalone mode even though I did not unlink it from ACS.

A: This might be caused by an issue with your ACS’s network or power status. Please ensure your ACS is properly powered on and connected to the same local network.
