Halfway through copying the albums. I really had forgotten quite how long it takes. Been doing it for more than a day now and just on the M's.

I use SyncToy from a freeby from Microsoft to copy from my QNAP master copy of the music to my Melco N1.

Allows you to copy (echo) from one drive to another or bi-directional copy etc. So I Echo the QNAP Music folder to the Melco. As you add new music or change tags, you can just run the job and it will copy over only the files that have changed.

It does take a long time for the initial copy and I find at times it swamps my network and causes slow discovery of servers and players by control points while its going on. I have in the past, stopped the job to do something else and you simply run it again to copy the files still to be done. So doesn't make the copy any faster but does make it perhaps more manageable.
