    Tell me there is a way of collecting & storing music etc on my new WHS, without me manually transferring it all. I know HP mediasmart WHS has the HP media collector, surely there must be a way of using this app on an OEM WHS install or a good 3rd party app addin that does the same... searched hi n low 4 one...

    PS Anyway u can install the HP add ins onto an OEM copy of WHS?

    None that I know of.  But all you have to do is one big copy-and-paste function per media type (Music, Videos, Photos).

    No.

    I use robocopy to sync my lcoal music library to my server occasionally (once a week, unless I'm ripping a lot of CDs). You could use SyncToy for the same purpose; it has a nice GUI. And there are any number of third party tools that also do the job.

    But no, the HP add-ins aren't available for anything but an HP MediaSmart Server.
    I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)
