Connecting to my NAS

Hi

I mainly have used my Sonos system to listen to my own music, which is stored on a Buffalo LS-WXLF5D NAS.

I had it set up and working fine on the S2 app.

Since the up-heavel with the app, I have been without this function. I now see that Manage library is back. I have gone to Add Folder / Enter Share info….given my PC path name and the NAS mapped folder - //192.168.1.10/Z

But, I just get Access is denied. I’ve tried with and without the NAS’s username and password, but same result. Have also tried turning off my Firewall, but same result.

Am I doing something stupid? As I say, it previously worked.

Thanks!

Damien

If you have not been able to use your NAS since May, that could be because Sonos has dropped support for SMB v1 around the same time they released the new app.

You will need to enable SMB v2 or 3 on your NAS to gain access again.

Search how to do this for your Buffalo device.

I think this explains the process of loading your music files into the B3. Don’t own one but if I did I would hope it could be seen as a network drive on a PC/Mac.

Track artwork could be an issue unless it’s is embedded in each track. In the SONOS library a file named “folder.jpg, “folder.png”, etc., will be associated with all tracks in the folder. I don’t know if Brennan supports this.

Edit: file names typo corrected. (Thanks @sigh)

Track artwork could be an issue unless it’s is embedded in each track. In the SONOS library a file named “folder.flac”, “folder.mpg”, etc., will be associated with all tracks in the folder. I don’t know if Brennan supports this.

Do you mean “folder.jpg” or “cover.jpg” ?

Naming an image with an audio file extension doesn’t sound right and is likely to cause issues with applications and operating systems as they will try and examine/read it as audio data, not an image.

Been too long and I’ve forgotten much on this but I have folder.jpg and .folder.jpg files in each album directory here.
