Thanks rperkin, Good info there, yeh just getting my head round the QNAP209, thats exactly the way I have it set up on the SC web page... If you don't mind me asking you what way do you transfer/copy your folders from your PC to the NAS, I have about 3,800 albums that I am tagging now on a external USB hard drive and then when ready transfer/copy to my NAS but it is taking forever and very slow, is there a better way to do this... I also noticed that when on the NAS, the rescan is very slow...
