Is Anyone using the Aurender add to library feature?


Aurender Music Servers have the ability move Tidal and QoBuz streaming content to your local library.  I tested this with 5 QoBuz albums, and it works.   The Add to Library feature needs to be done on each album (see below).  In other words, as per Aurender, "the "Add to Library" works as a tool to help you curate a vast personalized music library AND it helps blur the line between local content and streaming content".

Aurender provides the "select multiple" button to select up to 10 albums at a time and then use "add to my library" to add them all to your personal Aurender music library in one large batch.  I am unable to determine how this works.  I found the "add to library tab" but do not know how to select the 10 albums to move.  Has anyone done this?   If yes, please explain how to select the 10 albums.

The "Add to Library" feature does NOT download music files to your Aurender storage. Instead, it downloads LINKS to those files, which are added to your library like bookmarks or directories to the streaming content.

Obviously, this may be a little tedious at first to add all your favorites to your library, but once you have done that, you can just get in the habit of using the "add to my library" function moving forward as you acquire new favorites.  Once content is added to your library, you can browse by all the standard filters that are available for browsing your local library.   This means all my stored albums and streaming content will be in the correct sort sequence.  This is a big plus for me.  

To be honest, I am on the fence and cannot decide if I should or should not do this.  I do not know if I want my local library and streaming content combined together.  I agree that this feature does solve my album sorting issue.  I am thinking about it since it is interesting.  

Is anyone using the Aurender add to library feature?   How do you like your main library combined with your streaming content?  Any recommendations?

@rockrider,  Thanks again.  I just emailed Aurender Customer Support and suggested they update their manuals, etc. with the above information.  Great job.  
I moved all my Qobuz albums to my main library in groups of 10. The process went faster than I expected. 

In my main library, I hit all and all my albums appear, including stored Cd’s and Qobuz favorites. I hit streaming and only the streaming albums appear. I hit etc and only the stored CD’s appear.
The best news, for me, is everything is in the correct alpha sequence.

After the move, go to the settings screen, scanner tab and press scan for Newly added files. The process takes several minutes to update the database. It will notify you when it is finished.
