Sharing my library: Is that true?
352633
I realize this may not work for everyone, but I have 2 daughters and we all three share the same i-tunes library on our desktop computer at home (which is backed up to an external hard drive for extra storage). We set up folders for each of us (Mom-workout, Mom-Old Jams, S-Country, S-Old Stuff, V-Disney, etc) and selected the "manual sync" option on our Ipods. You can have several Ipods on a library so it's really easy.... Then, we can drag and drop the songs from our library onto our individual play lists as we choose. When you plug in your Ipod, you select the playlists you want to sync only. It's pretty simple and convenient for us. AND, we are not purchasing duplicates or uploading CD's multiple times. Good Luck!

It is compatible with Netlibrary. Make sure you can play the audio file on your computer before you transfer the audio though. Netlibrary waits to send you the license file until after you try to play it.

yes. In fact the whole concept of JBOD is that each disk would be accessed independently.

Yes but we use ours since we don't have one. You only need it to access the free stuFf.

I don't know of any functionality other than the sharing/server functionality. I think they both do the same thing.

Yes you can. There's multiple options at your disposal, such as Synology Data Replicator.

you can install it on how ever many computers you want...but the goodies are account bound. (P.S) I would highly recommend using the online downloader, the disks are SERIOUSLY outdated at this point.

I think it will work as long as you use an Admin account on both machines, and copy all of the files you want to move into one folder and move that. Pretty sure you can view the source files from the target machine.

It is not an outdated version. Once you register you will have additional library files and an update available to download.

As Mark may have been explaining, if your router for instance has a usb port, you can connect to that and share amongst your network. Its not a nas or air model.

You can save whatever files you want to it locally (on your lan) outside of that you will be limited in speed and perhaps file size. Really, if you don't want to build your own server, it's the best way to go. I was just a little disappointed that features that were once free are now paid upgrades. Still a very good product.

Yes. You have to setup web-DAV and some other things, and then it work like a dream. There are plenty of how to's on the internet and synology.com.

You can create several shares that can be used for any purpose. You can also give permission to users (other people) for various shares. the Mirroring is the function that I would suggest you use. I did not and that makes the unit a slower but with more capacity. I am going to change mine at some point, but I like the cloud capability that I have with mine like sharing photos and videos with family, as I am not a avid facebook user.

Yes, I do it all the time. Also I copy photo files between three hard drives. No problems.

Yes, they both can access the same shares without issue. I actually have a Windows 7, Windows 8, and MacBook Air all able to access the shares I have seemlessly.

Yes. What you have to do is create separate shares using the LaCie software and give permission to use that particular file.

You can share books between the two pens. You would just have to download them for both pens.
