I am using the WebUI. I think my problem is that I don't know which input I am suppose to write in "Remote Directory". Should I only include the folder's name ? Should I write all the directories from C:/ ? I guess I need to let the username and password fields blank ? And as I am using a PC, do I need to write my slashes like this / (as for Linux) or like this \ (for Windows) ?

How would I add a shared folder as a NAS share (I use Windows 7) ? I lost the best part of my afternoon trying to do just that

Hi !
My original intent for using my Raspberry Pi was to stream my music folder from my laptop to my raspberry pi, which is connected to my sound system. I would then control the Pi from my laptop as well.
However, with this set-up, I don't share though a NAS (as far as I know, i.e. not that much). Is it possible at all to use RaspFi for my needs or should I go looking for something else ?
Thanks
ps : I don't want to use an USB external HD because I don't have one and it wouldn't update automatically when I acquire new music.

you can use airplay or share your music folder in your network then add it as a NAS share
