The Synology is my first NAS and I know that it is suposed to keep a copy of the data so that if one of the drives fails, it is backed up on the other. But.... computers.....

This is known as "RAID" and it is *NOT* the same as a backup. If one of the disks fails with a head crash, the remaining disk should (hopefully) retain a valid copy of the data. If some human error or software problem causes files to be deleted or corrupted, the deletion or corruption will be applied immediately to the data on both both disks.

A cheaper option would be to plug in a USB drive to your NAS and copy your files to the USB drive. This will be quicker if you use USB 3, not USB 2.

Quote:Secondly is there some clever way of getting MP3Tag (or some other programme) to create the "Composition" tag, then copy the value for "Album Title" into that field? I can see that "Composition" is going to be very useful, but I only found out it existed a couple of hours ago :-)

Mp3tag can do this kind of thing using bulk actions and regular expressions. (I don't have the exact formula at my fingertips.)
