The internal HD of my BM5 (1Tb storage) is almost full, and still the BS5 can not work with NAS. When I do attempt to change the musical archive from internal HD to the NAS, the MOTS starts to analyze the tracks, but once reached 10-12% of the archive it blocks and there's nothing else to do than reset the device and change setting with musical archive again in the internal HD. Great!

Clone to a 2 TB HDD. This is the max a Win XP 32 bit system can see as a main boot drive.

You must have a huge music collection. If memory serves right you can only have like 30k-50k tracks or you start to overload the processing power of the BM5.

Hello, tx for your suggestion, that I saw just now.

I've noticed that the only way I can see the music on my NAS is if it is running Twonky Server.  I think that is the only supported DNLA server.  I suppose it could be possible to get some other DNLA server to run on the same port as Twonky, but I haven't tried that.  Compared to the price of a BM/BS5, a license for Twonky is trivial.  It might be worth buying a license and installing Twonky on your NAS if you can.

It should be possible to make a symbolic link from a sub folder to a USB harddrive. This looks like a normal folder but points to any other location and is indistinguishable for host, windows or software to any other location.

Really feel for you as listening to music is one of the greatest pleasures in life, it can stimulate and excite feelings and emototions like nothing else.

My Beosound5  gave me and the family just nothing but stress and grief!!

Spotify stopping working, motherboard failures (2), CD ripper not recognising CDs, horrible interface, radio unreliable, the list goes on ...

Swithed to another solution and the stress is gone and we can go back to enjoying music again as it should be enjoyed!

I would assume that BS stores the MOTS information in one of its drives (not DATA) that becomes full after connecting to NAS. That may be checked relatively easy, but you need to review the capacity of the disks before and after you have switched to NAS (you may need to connect the HDD to another computer for that). If this is the case - the answer could be to resize the needed partition, not replace the HDD.

That is just an idea - I did not tried it by myself.
