thank you for the info, especially specifics. The IT stuff is not my strong suit. Any other thought (from anyone) on how to make this easier, as close to turn key as possible? I do not use the auto-rescan plugin, but decided to enable it on the prototype and it seems to work. This way he can just copy files to a network location set to his music, and not have to worry about invoking a scan. Any other simplifications? I use material to flag me when an update to LMS is available, then go to the pCP UI to update. Is there an easier way? An auto update for either pCP or LMS?
