Yep, that's exactly what the the old iPhone will be for. I know the app works just great so far. The question will be the bluetooth streaming.

Gudanov -- Are you talking about the "Audio Station" referred to here? How do you add music to your library with this system? Is there a desktop app for PC/Macs or do you have to use a web-based app?

You have to use the web-based app or PC/Mac. I just set Window Media play to use the share as a library instead. I'm not a huge fan of the web-app, though it would be okay if you could access it directly instead of having to go through the DSM portal. The nice thing is that if you already have a NAS all of this stuff is free.
I add music by copying it into my music share which audio-station uses as it's library. It's all just file based, which I like.

So Audio Station periodically scans the files in its Music folder to add new ones to its database?

I believe that's the case. I copy stuff into the share and then it shows up. I'm not sure how often it checks.

Thanks. I've played around a bit with Plex, and that's how it seems to work.

I haven't tried Plex since it looks like the Synology software does what I want.

I uploaded a song to my NAS, then opened up Audio Station immediately and it was there.

Could you search for it via various metadata fields?

Dunno, since I'm listening to music off my NAS here at work, I don't have any regular songs lying around. I converted the Hobbit Misty Mountain song to mp3 and uploaded it, but I didn't tag it.
