If you want home sharing (and likely you do, since it is needed for Apple TV and iOS), then you'll have to run iTunes on a PC.
The music needs to be on the NAS, but the iTunes library can be on the PC. It'll run fastest over a wired network.
Alternatively, use the built-in itunes server on the NAS, and then access it's library from the PC iTunes.
There are other options - you could forget about iTunes, and use ReadyDLNA or Plex instead.
its just too slow, i used the readnas KB on itunes, when i add folder to itunes its been running for 6 weeks
- What firmware is running on the ReadyNAS?
- Is this on a mac or a windows PC?
- Is the PC using wifi or ethernet? What speed is the connection?
- There's more than one kb article on iTunes - can you provide a link to the one you used?
