Bluesound Vault Combined with Node 2

I have a bluesound node 2 connected to my high-end stereo system (Krell amp, Thiel speakers) in my living room. I am getting the Vault 2i to replace it, plus house all my CDs (over 1000). I have a second stereo system in my bedroom (Nad amp, Polk speakers) which I use with a grace digital Internet radio. Would there be any advantage for me to replace the grace Internet radio with the node 2? Can the node 2 and the vault “talk” to each other so that I can play my burned CDs from the vault in my bedroom? Any other suggestions of what I can do with both devices would be gratefully appreciated.

I have a Vault 2 in the great room and a Node 2i in a second bedroom system.  I can access the stored music files via the Node wirelessly.  I experience no connection difficulties or dropouts.
 I estimate the distance to about 30 feet with two walls between.  The router is a Hitron that was supplied by SparkLight with their internet service.

Anyone know if my extensive classical collection can be categorized by *last* name rather than first?

To my knowledge, not without work on your part. I believe that the bluesound software populates the database’s “artist”, “Album Artist” and “composer” fields using the name of the composer (or conductor/orchestra) by first name then last name. You would need to access each CD recording using a software program like MP3 tag, then change the fields yourself reversing the names. It may not be that daunting since programs like MP3 tag allow you to make the same field change on any number CD recordings in one pass. So you can dump all of say your Mozart CDs into the MP3 tag database and one change to the field will populate all of the CDs that you chose.
