Q: Change Location of Playlists file from PC to NAS

I created a lot of genius playlists (-awseome functionality-) and personal playlists (-to transfer to my IPOD-) and I understood these files are stored in iTunes Music Library.xml.

 

I located the file iTunes Music Library.xml and it is stored under C:\Users\Wim\Favorites\Music

while my entire music library (>400CDs) is stored on a NAS under \\lacinema_HD\LaCie\010_Music.

Every Itunes store purchase and every CD import goes directly to the NAS and it works fine with Sonos.

 

I want my My Sonos to access these playlist files. However, this requires the PC to be running, which is seldom the case while we all use IPADs in our family.

 

Therefore I want (a) to move the playlists (currently stored on the C drive) to the NAS (-which is running 24/7-) so they can be accessed when the PC is not running and (b) "enforce" any new playlists to be created on the NAS.

 

The "share XML libraries with other programs" is enabled.

 

Thanks in advance for your support.

(Windows 10 and Itunes 12.4.3.1)
