iTunes doesn't see MP3/4 files on NAS

[wifi-tom]

I have Bojour on and iTunes on in the firmware settings. iTunes sees the CORZA NAS music box, but there is no contents. I made a share called MP3 and turned on NFS and Windows access to ALL. I placed the files in the "add automatically to iTunes" folder and still nothing.

What do I have to do to get the Corza to post visible files to my iTunes???

I placed my files in the following folder

Public -> Music

If I place them somewhere else it will not work.

As Itunes is seeing the box you should have all other settings properly configured.

Patriot has little or no documentation on what to do to get this working. If you (Patriot) won't place it in your initial documents that comes with the device then place these types of helps in an FAQ somewhere.

Good luck

Great, so i already have all the files in a folder that created itself automatically on the nas shares when I turned on Bojour "Automatically Add to iTunes" now all I have to do is move them from that folder to the /public/music folder which of course since there is no SSH oR TELNET connection to the device I will have to do via a proxy transfer through my MAC or PC

WHOOOPY!!!! I'm so figgin happy!!!!

Wouldn't it be much easier to actualy program the firmware and have a sub option in the Bonjour settings to point to an existing folder or share? But that would be too logical!

Thanks for the info though, I'lll do what's possible. I have to admit I'm starting to regret saving those couple bucks and not getting Netgear ReadyNAS

I just had a similar issue trying to move items from one folder to another shared folder. After searching on the web:

Great news. I found an easy way to move the files w/o going through PC/MAC:

- Use FTP (Cut & Paste), it's super fast. Just verified on my system right now. Takes seconds instead of hours.

Great news! I'll do that next time

Bad news, the CORZA does not support long file names so some of my files will ahve to be renamed.

If you've installed telnet on your Corza and have a separate share (or multiple shares) for your music you can run this command:

ln -s /mnt/md1/your_music_share_name/ /mnt/md1/public/music/share1

Replacing your_music_share_name with the name of the share where your music is located.

This should create a folder in your public/music folder which references the content of your music share without needing to move or duplicate it. You can also repeat this multiple times, so if two people have shares with music on but want to be able to listen to each others music you could do:

ln -s /mnt/md1/first_persons_share/music/ /mnt/md1/public/music/first_person
ln -s /mnt/md1/second_persons_share/music/ /mnt/md1/public/music/second_person

And presto, both people can now listen to each others music over iTunes while retaining control over the content of their respective libraries.
