SirSoulBrother Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I have a Synology DS412+ unit with my music. MP3s and FLAC files and currently separated in to their own folders. I had in the past used iTunes but with zero FLAC support, and the additional fact that iTunes sucks IMHO... I'm not sure how best to organize my music. Is there any software for the NAS that will help me catalog all these files, remove dupes, etc? Is there software for the computer that will let me access all of these files with a user-friendly interface (like iTunes)? Link to comment

DaQi Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 +1 on JRiver but be aware you will have a bit of a learning curve with it after using iTunes. Stick with it because it is a better solution once you get over iTunes. I made the change a couple years ago and have not looked back at all.
