Guys,
All has been going well 100 of 700 ripped, but now suddenly when I click rip on dBPoweramp it says destination folder is inaccessible volume:multimedia.
For playing music it’s fine everything stored on there already plays normally.
Luddite hear, so simple answers if possible guys.
Regards,
Lindsay
The way I do it, and many others too, is to rip to the computer (iMac in my case) music folder. After checking the metadata I copy to the music folder on the Qnap. If you have a Qnap, installing Q Finder on the iMac makes accessing the Qnap easier and makes finding the music folder more reliable. I’ve never tried copying direct to the Nas.
Thank you Nigel, will try later.
Both iMacs here always show NAS in “finder” window under locations. If NAS has been asleep, may take a moment to wake - until it is awake likely will show inaccessible. Without further details of iMac and model of NAS, unable to suggest more.
An alternate method to HH suggestion, is simply to use "finder"on iMac, to copy files if they are ripped first to HD on iMac. QFinder is an administrative tool for QNAP NAS. Whichever method(s) suits should be fine.
Network drives can lose connectivity. Open in files to confirm access and then try again.
Which would be “files” in WinOS and “Finder” on a MAC, which OP uses?
@LindsayM seems you have mentioned QNAP elsewhere, so this may be worth checking, since you are using iMac.
It is some ten years since I set up my NAS, but current versions should be similar.
Login into QFinder and view “Network services”, click “Win/Mac/NFS”, below which will be a line of “MS Networking” “Apple Networking” and “NFS Service”.
Click on “Apple Networking” and there is a tick box “Enable AFP”, which is Apple Filing Protocol.
I have a hunch it is not set by default. Might be worth trying to enable, to see if that improves your connectivity. Once selected remember to press ‘apply’. No need to restart NAS, but do a simple restart of iMAC. Select Finder and the NAS should show as %%%% (AFP) where % is your NAS name, either directly or under Network. Hope that helps.
Thank you guys, I’ve just fixed through QFinder!
Exactly this!
I always check my files for metadata errors, etc before transferring the data to both NAS and Streamer SSD via the network. Oh, I’m MAC based too.
You got diverse taste Ant.
You should see ours 
I was going to post a screenshot but SWMBO has been ripping. So our “A-Z” first 25 now includes Marcus Mumford and Britney Spears (…Baby One More Time).
Not admitting to listening to those 
And there’s an “unknown album”…. Uniti Core metadata failure strikes again. I should have gotten an email about that, must have missed it.
With AFP set on QNAP, under Locations in Finder my NAS appears as “NASC9F410(AFP)”
If you’re new to the NAS world, did you know you can also use it to backup the Mac using Time Machine, google qnap time machine the first backup would take a while then the rest would be incremental backups.
