Audio Station

The Synology Audio Station brings you an innovative way to enjoy music on Synology Disk Station. It only takes a web browser for you to organize music into playlists, and play the music with connected USB speakers. In addition to native music source, iPod and Internet radio streaming are also supported.

Audiophiles who are passionate for digital sound quality can easily break the limitations of USB speakers by bridging a supported USB audio adapter between the Synology Disk Station and Hi-Fi speakers.

With the optional Synology Remote that provides freedom of direction-free control, you can enjoy the music with Synology Disk Station effortlessly.

Disk Station Manager 2.1 supports multiple users to access Audio Station simultaneously to stream music files in both Streaming Mode and USB Mode.

Web Player

Without installing additional media player software, you can conveniently play music on the Audio Station using the compact web player. It is easy to use and allows you to switch between Music, Radio, and iPod with a single click.

Music Library

The AJAX-based music library allows you to manage music files and playlists stored in the "music" shared folder on the server. You can create a playlist in two ways. First, you can choose to create a new playlist and add the songs to the playlist by using the drag-and-drop function. Second, you can choose to create a playlist by selecting the songs first and then create a playlist for selection.

If you have stored thousands of songs on your server and would like to search for a specific song, a convenient search tool bar is provided in this section. Simply choose to search within Title, Artist, Album, Genre, or All Categories, then enter the keyword to search. The result will then show up in seconds.

You may find a minimized player control bar in this section. For your convenience, while you are managing the playlist, you can easily play/stop the song, switch to the previous/next song, or control the music volume on this control bar.

Internet Radio

The Audio Station allows you to add, delete, and edit Internet radio stations in the Internet Radio section. You can find Internet radio stations in various music categories that have already been added on the list. You can enable as many stations as you wish, and all enabled stations will be listed in Web Player.

All enabled radio stations will be automatically added in My favorite, from which you can select the first Internet radio station to be played in Web Player. The selected Internet radio station will be played first whenever playing the Internet Radio.

Synology Remote

By connecting supported USB speakers and Synology Remote receptor to the USB port, users will have a brand new NAS experience to enjoy the music effortlessly stored on the Synology Disk Station with the compact Synology Remote. The Synology Remote comes with the RF signal design, which allows direction-free audio control. It is as simple as switching songs or Internet radio stations like changing channels on TV.

Web Streaming Mode

The music, iPod, and Internet radio playback with USB speakers, together with the Synology Remote, have always been the central characteristics of the Audio Station. What makes it even more complete is the new web streaming capability.

Once switched to the Streaming Mode, users can listen to the MP3 music stored on the Synology Disk Station directly from their computers. With this streaming add-on, you have full access to the music from anywhere.
