Move iTunes Media

I just purchased a Synology NAS with a built in iTunes server and want to move my files from my secondary drive onto the NAS. I know this question has been asked about a hundred times, but my situation doesn't seem to be the same. Currently I have two different users (my wife and I) on the PC, each with a different library file, but the same media.

I manually manage all my music, TV shows, movies, etc which are stored in a secondary HDD ( G: ) and the library files are stored in their default location. I want to move everything to the NAS and be able to use the built in iTunes server. At this point, I'm not set on forcing it to retain my file structure, so if I need to let iTunes move things around, I'm ok with that.

How would I go about doing this with two different users? I don't want duplicates of my stuff on the NAS.

Thanks!

Well, since this doesn't seem to be possible, I'm just going to edit my directory structure and spend a couple hours creating new libraries. Thanks.

Hi Spyderturbo,

I am interested in getting a NAS and wondered how you are liking your Synology NAS so far?
Which Model did you get - the two disk?
