If the Mac is at home, there are other options than ReadyCLOUD (which has a lot of limitations on syncing).
For instance, FreeFileSync could be installed on the Mac, and could update the music folder on the NAS on a schedule. It could also back up other files.
I'd go with something like that myself (unless there's a specific reason you need to use ReadyCloud).
Thanks for the options. I guess I could probably use Carbon Copy Cloner to do this as well but I get a warning I don't understand (attached) so I didn't go ahead with it.

You aren't using any credentials when you are accessing the NAS folder - that will work if you allow anonymous access to the share.
Though it would be better to create a user account on the NAS, and use it's username password.
Thanks. I always have to sign in to my Readycloud account. How would I use a user/pw just for the folder?
