I have all my music on drive "L" where I tag, add album art, add replaygain tags, make changes etc.. This is backed up to any or all drives "N", "O", "S" (m2p), my laptop, my wife's laptop and a spare portable drive that I keep off site, with just a click of a desktop icon (picture below for completeness). This is what I would prefer, and adding Samba to piCorePlayer would allow me to do this. However, I looked at WinSCP's synchronize feature, and after it complained about the filenames of 36 or so music files (which I tidied up), it seems to work ok. So I have a workaround for now.
