"ive recently spent around the same amount on a synology nas to store my music library, but at least the tracks i own wont suddenly disappear" I would think twice about that. I, also, have all of my music on a local fileserver and I would never consider giving iTunes or an iDevice access to that share unless it was mounted read-only. When I sync my music library (which is made up of files and directories, not "songs and albums") to my laptop, I rsync it over from the filesystem which is mounted read-only. I don't need my mac to "discover" "music files" on the network and start "helping me" organize them.
