Just to add some data to this thread: I talked a friend through a ReadyNAS firmware upgrade and SC module reinstallation about two days ago (NAS had previously had an older firmware and Slimserver) so that he could take advantage of the improved performance arising from SC and netgear's tweaking of their OS and the SC module -- no idea though whether the netgear download on the SC site includes any optimisations.
In any event, when he got to the SC Wizard and I told him to point SC to an empty folder as a proxy for the library until such time as he'd configured SC, or face the alternative of an unresponsive NAS and the better part of a week running at least three rescans till things were the way he liked them he said "how stupid is that, why not just let me configure things the way I'd like them and then give me the option of starting the scan when I'm done". FWIW he's not a technical guy, in fact he hardly ever spends time in front of a PC. I had done all the configuration work for him on the first Slimserver install and then provided the NAS to him and talked him through the networking config - all that he then had to do was add music and initiate a scan , so until going through this upgrade, apart from the fact he's running SC on a NAS, he was otherwise presumably the very user you're targeting as the plug and play demographic. -- egd Internet forums: conclusive proof depth of gene pool is indeed variable, monkeys can be taught to cut code, and world peace is utterly unrealistic...
