The Destination Folder should be something like "/Volumes/BDPMUSIC/iTunes" after creating a destination folder. With the file synchronizing application, you can set up a source folder that points to "/Users//Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music" (or your attached external drive that is on the Mac). Before doing this make sure you have the correct "iTunes Media Folder Location" defined, this will be under menu "iTunes->Preferences->Advanced" and for you should point to your external disk.Ĥ) With that completed, you can download any "rsync" app from the app store or " synkron" for free. This will do two things: first, provide some level of confidence that the music files you are about to copy are in one location and second, simplify how you can browse the music for certain "mpd clients" that ignore the file tagging. You can find this under the File Menu as "File->Library->Organize files" and even "Reorganize files in the folder XXX". How it stores files can be useful and also annoying, but what I like to do is have iTunes organize and consolidate the files. (BDP and Mac needs to be on, connected to the network and fully booted)ģ) Now with iTunes. Username and Password will both be "bryston". You can also use the finder to "Connect to Server" (command-K) and type in "smb://bryston-bdp-1.local/BDPMUSIC" and that will show up as a shared (aka network) drive. This should also update your firewall settings and you can check the advanced tab to make sure "File Sharing (AFP, SMB) Allow incoming connections" is shown. After a few minutes, open up the Finder on your Mac and see if Bryston-bdp-1 appears as a shared computer, if not you might check your 'sharing' settings, make sure file sharing is selected and the optional "Share files and folders using SMB (Windows)". (If you are not using Time Machine or another backup solution pick up two drives and back up your computer before you continue ) Keep in mind that the BDP has a limitation of 500mA of current for the bus-powered drives so stick to the OEM name brands like Western Digital or Seagate as there have been issues with other manufactures (my g-technology won't power on with the BDP).Ģ) Attach the HDD to one of the rear ports on the BDP, and also attach the ethernet cable, you can turn on or reboot the BDP (might be overkill). To get you started long-term with the BDP in a way that you can synchronize the files on you Mac Mini to the BDP in much of the same way one would synchronize music to an iPod.I highly recommend this:ġ) I would pick up a bus powered USB drive and using the Disk Utility on your Mac format it as MS-DOS(FAT) and give it a volume name of "BDPMUSIC". Welcome! I agree with BrysTony that you should be enjoying the BDP at least the thumb drive that came with it. This release brings major improvements to Synkron, adds new features and fixes bugs.
