Users of Moxie 6.05 can set up multiple tasks to synchronize remote files, playlists, schedules, etc. to the Data Server folder. Users can then simply drop content files into a synchronized folder on their network and Moxie will retrieve them. With Moxie?s Data Proxy capability, multiple Players can connect through a single node, dramatically reducing network traffic and improving efficiencies.
