New in Asset UPnP 3 (Sep 26, 2011)

  • Asset R3 is a significant improvement on R2, with a database redesign it overcomes many of limitations of the older design, whilst at the same time being faster and smaller. The browse trees have been redesigned to simplify track or album searching. Windows 7 and Vista users can capture their PC sound output and stream to a UPnP player through the PC Sound Capture WASAPI item. Finally the icing of the cake is the ability for Asset to combine artists with the same name where the spelling is slightly different.
