Using a Music Library

I used to have a Cocktail Audio X10 device connected as my Sonos Music Library to stream my 50,000+ tracks. This stopped working some while ago and I believe it is to do with it using SMBv1.

Since then I have connected the X10’s back-up 2TB drive and connected it via a USB hard drive bay and set it as a share and then mapped it to Sonos as my Music Library. Two days ago this worked, but it was my back-up drive that was out of date I wanted to use the actual X10 drive. I removed this, set up the share and defined it to Sonos. Nothing, it does not seem to recognise it even though it is shared and defined correctly. Tried back to the back-up drive and that does not work now either. The only thing that does work is if I define the music directory on my laptop, which only has a few albums in it..

Any suggestions to resolve gratefully accepted as I currently am unable to listen to all my music.

Beyond my skill level, maybe call support who can see internal data we users can't and have them walk you through the setup.

Not a Windows user,

but I've seen posts mentioning setting the network to private, drive going to sleep, using the computer IP address instead of name and path too long or having characters causing issues.

The Support FAQ has several articles.

Quite frustrating when it worked and now doesn't, something got changed that you didn't/can't see.
