I am trying to add an external HD to my system as the Music Library. This worked when I used an NAS but although I’ve gone through the right steps (I think) with this hard drive, and updated the library, I get ‘no selections are available’ when I look for music.

Which external hard drive?
Is the drive visible from your computer’s networked drives list when only connected to the network and power, no USB to the computer?
S1 or S2 Sonos system?
It’s a WD 2Tb.
If I understand your question - do I see the HD on computers other than the one it’s plugged into? - and the answer is ‘no.’
I might note that unless I was intentionally working with the NAS, I never saw that either. Still, it’s a good question. It needs to be mounted or something maybe?
Thank you.
It has to be both mounted and then the mount point shared to the network.
Depends on what operating system you are using, I don’t use Windows or Mac but if you post what you are using someone will have the answer.
