So does anyone have a solution as to the correct steps and setup? It's
driving me crazy for a month now. It's getting from bad to worse when
trying to flip through different settings.
Anyone? :-)

To move your library in iTunes, you should never just copy the library
as that will never work. I have my laptops iTunes, and Squeezebox
talking to my Nas for their music.
To move it, map your NAS as a network drive, so that on your computer
your Nas has a drive letter.
e.g My Computer - Map
I'm convinced that there is no way to make it work between Windows and a
NAS. Drive letters and UNC paths just confuse anything non-Windows (the
NAS in this case). You would need to have the iTunes XML file be run
through something to change the path, or maybe have an option added to

Hi,
I'm experiencing similar issues as some people already reported, while
I see that others are succesful in making it working.
My setup is:
iTunes 10.1.1 running on Win7
ReadyNAS DUO running RAIDiator 4.1.7
SqueezeBox server 7.5.3 for sparc-readynas platform running on my
ReadyNAS
iTUNES
I had SBS running perfectly with my iTunes on my NVX. Then disaster
struck and I had to to a factory reset to the NAS and start again.
Now I just cannot get SBS to see the iTunes playlists. However I think
I know why.
The iTunes XML file has paths to the .mp3;s as like this

Yep, that all works fine !!!
Only minor niggle now is that when I have to reboot the iMac for a
software update then it tells me that it can't find the iTunes lib and
I have to manually navigate to the file on the NAS.
I suspect this is because iTunes loads faster that the ReadyNAS can
mount
I just got a ReadyNAS Duo after buying an iMac and getting rid of my PC
/ Server. I had got to the point where I assumed iTunes integration on
the NAS was a non-strater and you've just cheered me right up.
So far I've move my iTunes folder to the NAS and pointed iTunes to it
... no probs.

Apologies for the delay - just back after being away for a few days.
This morning I reconsidered the directory structure I was using on the
NAS. As a result I reimported all my music files to a new folder.
iTunes rebuilt its library files and now iTunes integration in S/S
works.

After some delays, I now have Squeezebox Server installed on my ReadyNAS
NVX. I have also reconfigured iTunes such that all its files are on the
NAS. Itunes works fine from my PC - accessing its files from the
ReadyNAS.
Now, in S/S I have:
a) enabled the iTunes Integration plugin
b) pointed it
Working iTunes integration does indeed seem to be a black art. Here are
the settings I used to get it all working

hmm, not sure why that would be.
The total number of tracks may be read from the itunes xml as opposed
from the actual scanning of files.
Maybe check that you have not got all your songs unchecked in itunes?
also, I wonder if your tags are in a bad shape (it would be bizarre for

Sorry, it might be shift that you hold down instead of alt. If that
doesn't work give ctrl a go or failing that google should help out!

I've got a readynas duo set-up that I recently added a squeezebox duet

Many thanks for your detailed response.

No problem!
Make sure you are holding down option (on mac) or alt (on windows) when
you start iTunes. This will bring up a prompt to let you choose where
your iTunes library file is. Browse to your nas folder where you copied
this to and select it. iTunes will now load using this library file.
I'm running iTunes 9 under Windows 7. If I hold down the ALT key whilst
starting itunes then the program just starts normally - no option to
change library file location.

I have a ReadyNAS NVX on order and am planning how best to use it to
(amongst other things) take over Squeezebox Server from my PC. I
currently rip CDs via iTunes on my PC and have SBS setup to integrate
with iTunes.
I think I am happy with what I need to do to install SBS on the
ReadyNAS, and
