Did you power off / reboot the Pi at any point?

Try another reboot and then see if it can find the NAS.

There is an entry for NAS in the browse section, but it's not populated with anything.

In the /music directory on the NAS, the albums sit in sub folders named artist then title.

Sometimes if a source mount fails it is better to erase the mount and try a fresh one from scratch,

I've tried that too. No luck.

No idea what I am doing wrong. Why can't it just look for the fucking media server on the NAS like my Auralic does? Argh!

When I open my NAS via Windows Explorer I first get a selection of maps: 'Public' , 'Personal', etc.

Opening the 'Personal' folder I have another map called 'FLAC' where the music files are.

So in the Moode Remote Directory box I have: Personal/FLAC

Does this match your file hierarchy?
