Sorry for the late replies. I never did try to put LMS on the My Cloud. I planned on it, but seemed to read there's a few other things you have to do. I'm not PC savvy at all, so I like to keep it as simple as I can. I had to replace the PC I was using as a music server, so I just bought a

Hi Yesfan70. I'm using my WD My Cloud for storing my music database, but I still run LMS on my computer. I have managed to play FLAC files over my local wi-Fi network at home using a number of apps on my iPhone, but I have not managed to play any FLAC files over the 3G network. I can play MP3

For anyone thinking about running LMS on a NAS you can't go wrong with a decent QNAP. There is a simple installer and they just work! QNAP TS419P 4TB LMS7.7.2 *Living Room* - SB3 - Onkyo TS606 connected Digitally - Celestion Ditton F20s - and connected Analogue for Zone 2 - Sony TA FE 320 -

I decided to get a WD My Cloud NAS drive today. I've got it connected to my network. I'm planning to continue running LMS on my PC and just have the music database on the My Cloud drive. How do I configure LMS to see the My Cloyd NAS? When I go into My Computer, the NAS appears as drive Y. But

You may need to make that Y a -permanent- drive letter mapping. How you do so depends on which OS you are using: http://www.it.cornell.edu/services/guides/computer/howto/map_win7.cfm Or, it could be as easy as restarting LMS. I think I'd make the map permanent anyway assuming it's not.

I've just been looking at Western Digital web site and see that they have a product called My Cloud which is esentially a 4Tb HDD which you connect via your router. I was wondering if anybody has been using this for storing their Music for playing on their SqueezeBox? As it appears to connect
