looking for advice for moving Itunes music from IMAC to NAS
I have a brand new synology DS211J. It sounds like you have successfully set up your 110 to hold all of your music and the library for Itunes. I would like to move my music from my Imac to the NAS and direct Itunes to use the NAS for music storage and retrieval. My set up is as follows: an Imac with 4 Ipods to sync, NAS, airport, and will probably add a streaming music box.
My questions are:
I have a Synology NAS (DS110) with itunes server build in. Works like a charm and I share my itunes music library with all my i-devices.

My questions are:
- what is the best way to move all the songs from my Imac to the NAS?
- what is the best way to create the library for Itunes now that the songs are on the NAS?
- Do I use the option key + Itunes command to redirect Itunes to use the NAS?
- any other tricks that I should be aware of with the synology sofware?
