Hi
I've recently added a Synology NAS to my home network and have setup iTunes to use a volume on the NAS as the iTunes media location (Preferences->Advanced).
However, downloads from the iTunes store are still going to the old folder in ~/Music
Any idea how I can fix this?
MacBook Pro (2016), 10.13.2, iTunes 12.7.3.46
Thanks!

If the NAS isn't visible on the network when iTunes starts up it will silently reset the media folder to iTunes Media in the same folder where the active .itl file is. See Make a split library portable for some general background on library layout. iTunes is not guaranteed to play nicely with NAS. I would recommend you store your library on a locally connected external drive in the portable shape and use the NAS for a cloned backup.

Thanks, that's really helpful. I need it on a NAS so it can be accessed by Sonos, so I will turn it into a cloned copy and keep the main library safe in iTunes folder on my computer.
Thanks again!
You're welcome. 🙂
