OK people my new HDX arrived yesterday and I'm busily loading all my CDs on to it.

I have a Netgear ReadyNAsDuo attached to my router. I'm running OSX on an iMac and a Macbook Pro. The NAS has the default setup. I have promoted the media folder on the NAS to a Music sore and enabled the backup folder on the NAS to a network share

I have a few his res albums on my iMac that I want to play through the HDX. Where do I put them on the NAS and how do I get them there with OSX?

Many thanks

You should make / have made a folder on the NAS which you keep outside of the Music Store.
You can create a Network Share to this folder on the HDX and you can put your external files in this folder. HDX will then be able to read them.

refers to issue with using the readyNAS in default mode and the media folder as the music store.

you can make folders on a readynas by browsing to the readynas over the web (usually something like 192.168.1.1/admin) then goto share, add share

i would suggest you create two new folders - one called HiRes the other Ripped tunes - so similar at your discretion. then use these for your music
