Where are iTunes server files?
I have a Readynas duo and keep my music in a folder there under media. It's set up with Firefly as the iTunes server for me to access with a variety of devices.
I recently tried out several players from my Ubuntu desktop, unwisely using the iTunes server option in the players. Now my music files have "disappeared" from their original folder, leaving behind just the folder structure and cover art. Most (although not all) of the files seem to be somewhere on the nas, as they can be played by a music player.
Can anybody suggest where the files are and how I can access them and put them back where they started? (I tried mounting the disk from the Readynas on my ubuntu system, but I couldn't get it to mount.)

- D_H_DAspirantI couldn't wait until tomorrow, so I enabled ssh and logged on via putty. It was exactly what I needed!
I've found my music files, although iTunes has messed up the directory structure I had previously, at least I don't have to rip 8,000+ tracks all over again.
Many thanks for your help.
