Hi
I've been storing my iTunes files on a NAS for the last few months. I have the iTunes folder itself on the local hard drive, and the 'iTunes media' folder is on the NAS. Every now and again, presumably when the network connection fails, iTunes silently repoints this to the local hard drive. The fact that's silent is the problem--I then have to change it back and run 'organize' library.
I have the network folder in my login items, and I even have an applescript that runs every 15 minutes, making sure that the drives are mounted. Still, it's unreliable.
What do people here do?
1) Is there a disadvantage to having the whole 'iTunes' folder, not just 'iTunes media' on the NAS? At least that way, should it fail, I'll know easily.
2) Anyone got any other advice?
Many thanks
Phil
