Hey all,
My MyBookLive NAS died after many years of service, hosting my Sonos music library. I replaced it with a DS120j Synology NAS, and it has NOT been plug and play. I’ve seen many notes in the Sonos forums about workarounds to get Synology and Sonos to work together, and I’ve tried most of them, to no avail.
So, I have a Sonos S1 system that has worked great and I don’t want to migrate to S2. I have spent hours with very patient and helpful Sonos support techs, Apple support techs, and Synology support techs, and no one can get the “access denied” error to go away when trying to play music library files on the Synology NAS. If anyone has any recent magic bullets, let me know.
Alternatively, if some Sonos user is willing to recommend any NAS that DOES work with Sonos, please let me know. The Sonos support folks have to remain agnostic, and most of the reviews of the various NAS drives I’ve read are pretty horrible. Synology seemed “least bad”, but now I think their software is just too damn sophisticated (overwrought?) to simply let my Mac mount a shared volume and let Sonos write a shared music library to it. So, my current NAS may be getting returned. Anybody got any suggestions for a replacement?
