Introduction to SMB (Samba)


SMB (Server Message Block), also known as Samba, is a network protocol that allows for shared access to files, printers, and serial ports between nodes on a network. By integrating SMB with your WiiM app, you can take advantage of centralized and expandable storage for high-quality audio streaming, and offline access, enhancing the flexibility, reliability, and quality of your home audio experience.


The WiiM Mini does not support Samba due to the memory limitation.



Benefits of Using SMB (Samba) with WiiM


- Centralized Storage: Store your entire music library in one location for easy access and management.

- Expandable Storage: Easily increase your storage capacity by adding more hard drives to your NAS or computer.

- High-Quality Streaming: Enjoy lossless audio streaming with a stable and reliable connection.

- Offline Access: Stream your music locally without relying on an internet connection.
