I'm anything but an expert, but this thread interests me, as, because of the mess Netgear have made of their NAS product development policies, Synology models are candidates for my next NAS purchase.

Presumably, you can access the music folder on your Synology as an SMB share, and set global permissions for the whole folder through Windows in the usual way. If you do that, do the permissions 'stick' when MinimServer accesses the files? I'd have thought that Windows/Samba would have to propagate the permissions in the native Linux environment of the NAS, but perhaps that is just too naive ...
