I'm using a bluesound vault 2. The server name on my network used to be "I4vault". Somehow it was changed to "livingroom" (I had to rebuild the vault so the name got changed.) When I try to make changes to the albums, etc. using MP3tag, it gives me an error "There was a problem connecting to the server I4vault" so it cannot update it. How do I tell the MP3tag software that there is a new name for the server? (I'm unable to change the name of the server on the DB.)

Are you on a Mac?  
Is this something like this?

On each file operation it takes about 30 seconds of beach ball, and then I get a system error about the connection to a server has failed. Re-Installation of the software did not help, can I manually delete app preferences somewhere?

I was able to figure it out with the help of a friend. On the bluesound app, i went to "settings", "player", "room name" and changed it back to "L4vault". The key was that I had to reboot the iMac for it to see only the L4vault DB. It then worked fine.
