Sharing Playlists on multiple computers?

So, this may be an impossible issue. There are a couple of factors. I have TRIED to set up my apple music library on a NAS server, but it seems whenever the computers reawaken they revert to the iTunes folder on the local drive. I was trying to get seamless sharing between devices using a shared iTunes library and I've given up on that for now as they can't seem to stay connected.


However, Since the music is accessible and downloadable on all devices, I would love to be able to share playlists. But when I try that, the playlists are empty and not really shared because the file locations of the songs are different (I assume that is the issue).


I am wondering if anyone has come up with a good solution. My Synology NAS seems to have an iTunes server, but I've not been able to get it to work.


TIA,

Jeff

Thank you. The path is the same, but when I take my laptop away, e.g., it creates a new iTunes folder on my computer. As a result, I've ended up with a mess of duplications. And since i have had iTunes for 20 years, the structure of it has changed over the years. Now I have this set up on the NAS and I am not sure what should be the default folders for iTunes. Should it be iTunes> iTunes Music or iTunes > Music, and the older one seems to be iTunes Media.
