BlueNode Vault
Answered
Hi, I just bought a Vault secondhand. It was the sticky version but I managed to get rid of the sticky surface and now it looks good. I didn't get the user manual and I have search here on the but can't find any download. I belive this is the first version and I have tried to rip and play CD's and it works perfect. I have no option right now as my router is one room and my amp is in another room to get it on www. I use my homenetwork I use for my Bluenode X.
I searched the app and can't find how to delete an album from the internal HDD, as I belive it must have these option. Does this model have web based music such as internet radiostation? Can anyone help me out? If there's a download I will be very happy if anyone can help me with a link.

You will need to connect it to your Router via Ethernet otherwise when ripping CDs they won’t get the metadata or artwork.
To delete you need to connect over your local network using PC / Mac or similar, the Vault shares its drive with music and you just delete using whatever computer you use to connect. Then using the BluOS app reindex.
The Vault has all the streaming service like the NODE X but you will need a wired Internet connection as it does not have Wi-Fi.

Hi seppi,
I did connect it to my local network router and I ripped a cd just to check out if it worked. I didn't get the metadata as I didn't connect to Internet. But I found the vault in my phone app but no way of deleting. Do I undertand it right that if I connect via my localnetwork I can find the vault's HDD via my computer and then delete whatever album I want? Will it show up something like an external HDD in my computer, like an externad example d: ? I can't try it right now but will try tommorrow.

Yes, the Vault will show as a device on your network with some shared directories, just like a NAS or computer.

This web page is current, any printed manual would have been out of date the first software update…

The Vault's hard drive is actually a NAS drive.
In Settings on the Vault, there's a setting called "Room" and in this setting will be what the Vault is actually called. I changed my Vault's name to "Lounge" since that's where it lives, and looking at it via my Windows PC, I can see "Lounge BT" as a network device. (BT is my ISP.)
My Vault is connected to the network using an Ethernet connection and a Powerline, wherein the mains wiring in the house is used network cabling. (How that works, I don't know, but it works.)
Since the Vault doesn't do wifi, Ethernet is the only option. Since my router is upstairs and my Vault downstairs, and since there isn't any network cabling in the house, Powerline is the best Ethernet option for me.
Setting up the Powerline also took quite a few tries (and some swearing), but I got there in the end.
