Change How to Scan Media Files
Scanning your multimedia files updates your ReadyNAS system's list of available songs so
that recently added songs appear in iTunes. Scanning also tags untagged songs with
important information such as a song's duration. You can scan your songs immediately or
you can choose how often to scan your files automatically.
Some media files are not tagged with data that gives iTunes such important information such
as the duration of a song. When scanning your multimedia files, you can compute this
information for untagged files. You can determine how aggressively and accurately to
compute it. If a file is tagged with this information, this information is not computed for it.

1.
From the FrontView main menu, select Services > Streaming Services and click the
Connect to the Firefly setup link.

Do any of the following:

To choose how accurately to calculate data about media files that were not tagged
with information such as duration, from the Scan Type drop-down list, select one of
the following options:
•
0 - Normal. Quickest and least accurate.
•
1 - Aggressive. Slower and more accurate.
•
2 - Painfully Aggressive. Slowest and fully accurate.
Many media files are tagged with this data, and this calculation is not needed for
them.
•
To choose how often to scan for new media files, in the Rescan Interval field, enter a
time in seconds. The default is 86,400 seconds, or every 24 hours.

To scan for new media files even if no iTunes clients are accessing the media files,
from the Always Scan drop-down list, select Yes.
