I've got a readynas duo set-up that I recently added a squeezebox duet and radio to. I was previously using xbmc but decided I wanted rid of the big ugly xbox in my lounge and to get a more usable controller (XBMC is brilliant though!).
I have all my mp3s in a music folder under the media share on my ReadyNAS. I copied my itunes library files (there are a few - iTunes Library .itl/.xml and the itdb files for extras/genius) into the music folder as well. The next time I launched itunes I held down option (alt on windows) and pointed itunes to the new library location. (from memory I had to remove the music tracks and rescan in the music from the new location - it was a long time ago that I did this part) this basically means that your music and itunes library are now held on your NAS which means SBS can see them both. When you set-up squeezebox server you need to activate the itunes plugin and then go to the settings page for this. you need to : check Use iTunes empty the ignored playlists section (at least for the types of playlist you want to include) point it to your library location Point it to where your media is (my music folder) if you want, set a prefix for your imported itunes playlists Additionally, you need to set how long SBS waits before it rescans your itunes library after it changes. I've left mine at the default of 3600 seconds for the meantime. When you click apply the scanner will start and a few minuted later you'll be able to see progress on the information page. What I found wasn't working was saving playlists I created on my squeezebox - they appeared to save but basically went into a black hole. I appear to have fixed this by going to the Basic Settings page and entering a location for playlists (I set it to /media/Music/Playlists). They now seem to be working fine! I've only had this setup for a week or two so I'm sure I'll find some oddities over time but so far so good. I've attached some screenshots of my settings.
