If you want to consolidate your Aurender’s content into your ACS all at once, you might want to use Smart Collect. This feature is especially helpful when you want to utilize ACS Central Server Mode.

Smart Collect helps you organize your content based on the following rules:

  • It checks for duplicate content by folder path and identifies duplicate albums.
  • It collects your playlists and rating information.
  • If there are playlists with the same name but different content, it will rename the playlists to avoid confusion.
