For the PDFs, I am doing that still on the Mac with DevonThink Pro. I SOOOO wish iTunes did that….would scan for changes. It scans the path on the Synology for anything that has changed, and updates it in it’s library.

At some point, you will be waiting FOREVER, for iTunes to do anything.Ĭurrently, I am using MediaMonkey on the PC to manage most of the stuff.
iTunes starts getting exponentially slower as the size of your library grows.

But how to you manage the stuff in there.
Ok, so you get part 1 and part 2 happening. Or I can login into it and stream from a browser. On the Synology, I can stream my music collection to an App on my phone. Most NASes also have apps that let you “stream” your library, sometimes over the internet. You could also sync up music and videos, depending on how much cloud storage you have. Syncing PDFs to Google Drive is great as you get access to the OCR features there, and you can do text searches of PDFs in Google Drive. So if you need access to your PDFs a lot, you can have the NAS maintain a copy on Google Drive. This could be DropBox, or Google Drive, or whatever. The Synology, and most other NAS makers, have applications that can sync up parts of your library to “the cloud”.

But what if you are unable to store everything on an iPad? What if you need to look up a song, or need a PDF that isn’t on your iPad? This is where the cloud and a good NAS come in. Having all your books as PDFs, or sheet music as PDFs where you can put them on your iPad or whatever. So, having something redundant and backup is essential to any musicians library. Probably be adding this in this summer (as the Synology has programs that do this….love the Synology). Things like Amazon Glacier and BackBlaze offer really cheap ways to cloud backup stuff. Partly cause the NAS I have is solid (Synology). If say a comet strikes and I lose the NAS and the USB drive, then the remote NAS is the one that has the stuff. So, in theory, if the main NAS dies, then I can rebuild it with the USB hard drive copy. There is the copy that lives on the main NAS, a copy on an external USB Hard drive, and a copy on a remote NAS. I also adopted better backing up strategy. This worked great for several years, and in 2012 I upgraded to another NAS that has more space and expansion abilities (and aggregated gigabit ethernet). It’s a little computer basically that does RAID and just serves out files to you. When 2008 came around, I decided to replace the hot and loud PC with a NAS (Network Attached Storage). And did a backup of this to a large USB hard drive. Basically, it takes your data and puts it across 3 or more drives in a way that if ONE drive fails, you can replace that drive and it will rebuild itself and you do not lose any data. From 2000 to 2008(?) I had a PC I inherited from a failed high tech startup that had a RAID 5 drive array. DO NOT KEEP EVERYTHING ON ONE DRIVE….Drives fail….then your stuff will disappear. You need a redundant storage system, be it one hard drive cloned to another, or something.
But how do you manage it?įor me, I’ve always had some sort of redundant system for storage. Or teaching materials you have acquired over the years. All those recordings you made in college, or those boot legs of various bands you got. Some of us still have huge libraries of music. A lot of people have ditched their iTunes libraries and gone to the subscription music service model. Managing your digital media in this age is rather daunting.
