You have to use MinimWatch to set the contentDir property to the directory where your music files are located and restart MinimServer. In your case, the directory is most likely '/volume1/music'.

Please describe what problems you are having.

In the mac environment I download minimwatch

When I check in the force quit option the program is not running
I don't seem to be able to download the program in the windows environment I get a little sign a yellow voice thing with a red exclamation mark

Thanks for explaining this.

On the Mac:

When you start MinimWatch for the first time, you may get a prompt from the Mac firewall asking if you want to accept incoming network connections.

When you click Allow, MinimWatch will start running. MinimWatch doesn't show up in the Dock or in the force-quit menu. It puts a small icon with a minim symbol (musical note) in your menu bar. This is explained in the 'Installing MinimWatch' section of this page.

To set the content directory, you need to click on the minim icon and select Properties from the pop-up menu. Your current content directory will be displayed in the contentDir field. Change this to the new value and click OK to confirm the change, then select Restart from the minim icon.

On Windows:

I'm not familiar with the problem you described. Some questions:

1) Which browser did you use to download MinimWatch?

2) When you clicked on the link for MinimWatch on the Downloads page, did you get a pop-up Donations window?

3) After you clicked on one of the buttons at the bottom of the Donations window, did you get the yellow voice thing with a red exclamation mark immediately, or did something else happen before that?

4) Did the yellow voice thing with a red exclamation mark have any accompanying message text?
