Some more screenshots of scans - this time dowgraded back to an iTunes
12.0.1 library. Quicker still, as I suspected - although I've also
disabled some Synology packages I rarely use, such as Audio Station,
Media Server and Video Station.  Here's the output of a 'Clear and
rescan' (just 4 hours this time):

24378


And a scan for 'new and changed media' clocked in at just over 3 hours -
quick for my RAM-limited Synology NAS:

24379


My iPod Touch arrived today, and I suspect it will prompt me to upgrade
to something that is 12.3 or high when I try to sync, but at least I
know I can get still achive an LMS sync with the iTunes plugin with this
version - albeit not as speedily as the above timings.

The Raspberry Pi things sounds interesting, but I'm not quite sure what
you mean. Would such a setup require having a Pi running LMS hardwired
into my NAS (treating it as an external drive), then connecting the
Squeezebox players to the Pi rather than the NAS - much like running LMS
on a PC, with the music files on an external drive?  If so, it's an
interesting idea, but I'm not sure I fancy faffing about setting it all
up, and having a second device running every time I want to listen to
music.  Although the Synology takes an age to rescan, I'm happy doing so
overnight, and streaming music from it is seamless and reliable.

Thanks for all the info and advice so far, one and all!

Cheers

Andy
