Adding a shared folder on an external hard drive connected to my mac mini

I created a folder on my Crucial X9 Pro hard drive with my music.  I shared the folder.  I tried to add //hostname/volumes/Crucial X9 Pro/My Music.  hostname obviously is not the name of :-).  Sonos says that the path name is no longer available.  There wasn’t any additional information to help me understand what I have wrong.  

 

I do have file sharing on.  Read Only for everyone.

Hi ​@jerk 

Error 913 signifies that the system encountered an unsupported version of SMB on the server (your Mac).

If you are using the Sonos app for macOS to set up the share, be sure to only use the bottom of the 3 options provided when adding a path - to set up a NAS share - even though you are using your Mac as the server.

Please see our guide on setting up a music share:

If the steps there do not resolve the issue, I recommend you get in touch with our technical support team who have tools at their disposal that will allow them to give you advice specific to your Sonos system and what it reports.

I hope this helps.
