Over a month ago but i only connected the My Cloud this week. The WD TV box is still in its box.....lazy me.
It took a week of evenings to transfer my digital files from my old portable drive to the My Cloud! What a pain that was.
I am still using the Apple Airport, but at least the hard drive is no longer hanging off a laptop, i am now a little more portable which was one of the main objectives.
Now for the best part, i have used 2 laptops to verify and am very pleased to state that after at least 7 hours of playback i have not had a single drop out, not even a skipped beat. Sound quality has also improved quite a lot, there is more depth and i feel a lot more involved with the music.
I can only conclude that the hard drive was the cause of the audio drop out problem as i am still wireless.
Question - is it possible to transfer all itunes files & folders etc. to the My Cloud and link them somehow to my laptop?

I have changed my iTunes folder to an external 4TB Seagate drive (along with my photo and video files), but that is via USB 3.
I stream video though via my Apple TV and the lag is non-existent assuming your internal WiFi network is robust enough. . .

Just to make sure we are talking about the same thing, i have moved the music files, but can i move all other iTunes operating files from my hard drive to the My Cloud?

I've tried the dlink and the buffalo Nas and both indicate that if an HD with previous content (assumed fat or ntfs), it will be erased and reformatted to the Nas file system. Though I haven't plugged an HD from Nas to a regular pc.
