Ok. Perhaps look at it again tomorrow at about the same time, and that will give you some idea how fast it is progressing.
One possibility is that something caused the iTunes scanner to crash - if that happened, you won't see any progress when you look next time.
Do you have any idea how many music files you have all together?

Maybe giving longer answers will help me understand what you are trying to say.
You should be able to access the iTunes library via your PC copy of itunes, and select "songs". Then iTunes will tell you how many songs are in the library.
Do that again after waiting some hours, and you will be able to see whether the iTunes server is "stuck", and you'll also be able to gauge how quickly it is adding songs.

Re-connect to NAS on itunes, try again?
I have a NAS with about 20,000 songs, I've loaded for a long time and haven't all been added to complete. After I re-connect, all of them adds up to itunes.
