Alexander wrote: solved your problem... drum roll please..... lets say your music server is about 60gb or so in size, abandon itunes match and just use itunes as is. each system should benefit from a direct copy of the contents of the itunes server drive you've built, ergo no connection to a network unless necessary. the simple action is this... from your server, assuming you have built an itunes folder in the NAS drive, copy the contents of that drive to the itunes folder of each machine. OK it's disk space but if you're like me and don't need the hassle of tandem drives, this is the best way. this also resolves the issue of what may be happening on your iphone. it's a decent and direct solution which won't screw up your workstation nor slow things down. lew On 3 Jan 2012, at 20:19, Marlaina Lieberg wrote: > Ok.
