I’m afraid I have little technical knowledge so have found your online pages pretty difficult to understand. Just signed up for free trial - and just close to cancelling it before I start.
I have a macbook pro. Downloaded Roon software and can see it works with the limited music I have directly stored on iTunes. Most of my music is stored on a networked Synology NAS drive ( DS216Play) All works fine - elsewhere. Username and Passwords work fine elsewhere ( I access the NAS from several devices around the house hence my interest in ROON) How do I connect it to Roon using Network share - each time I try and guess the “network share location” I get an error message. (This is the path I have “afp://MarcMedia._afpovertcp._tcp.local/music”)
