I suggest you use SqueezeCenter's web interface to tune the settings to
your requirements, including the location of the Music folder.

Fire up your browser and point it to http://nas:9001 where 'nas' is the
IP address of your QNAP.
[Note: the standard port used for the web interface is 9000 - however,
this conflicts with one of the other in-built applications on the QNAP,
so generally port 9001 is used instead]

Click on the Settings button (bottom right on the default interface).
The second field on the Basic Settings tab is the one to change. See
below for what mine looks like - I use a Music folder in the default
Qmultimedia volume. [Aside: under Music I have subfolders for Classical,
Playlists, and Popular]

You say you have the QNAP TS-209. I do hope you will be happy with
this. I have a TS-209 Pro with 2 x 500 Gbyte disks in RAID1
configuration. I have a fairly extensive music collection and have now
loaded some 1,100 albums totalling just under 21,000 tracks (mostly
FLAC, some residual MP3s). While the TS-209 seems fine for storing and
running SC for playing the music, it is clearly not a general purpose
computer. It's a very slow device when it comes to anything requiring
any cpu power - this is very noticeable when running SC's web interface
(but that is probably an SC design issue) and even more noticeable when
(re)scanning the music data into the SC database. See below for the
details from my last full scan - it took 7 hours 47 minutes !!

I like the QNAP - it has loads of functionality and appears well
designed. But this particular model is seriously short on engine power.
I'm in the market not only for bigger discs, but also for a new and
faster NAS...

Hope this helps
