I am running JRMC20 on a PC, taking commands from MC Remote on an Android tablet. I also have an Id (JRiver) currently receiving "commands" and files through my main JRiver PC in another part of my house. My music files are stored on a Western Digital NAS. I would like to also configure the Id to store and Auto (and Manual) import all my music files, as well, so as to create another back-up and make the Id more self-contained (portable). I have apparently already successfully copied 5-6 albums into the Id's storage. Pls Advise.
On my main MC (Windows) P.C. my "Computer" page Lists:
"Computer"
MUSIC (\\MYCLOUD EX2) (Y:) -- with a small storage device icon colored GREEN
MEDIA (\\ID-B8AEED&B2B8E\Internal Storage) (Z:) -- with a small storage device icon WITH A RED "X"
"NETWORK"

Please read "Adding Files" here:

Thanks for your response. I am confused by the quote below from the Install Guide. Thus far, it looks like the music files of the six albums I tried to copy manually have shown up on the Id Storage. From here, I'd like to do two things:
1. "Load" the Id so that all of the music files could be selected and played if I ever had the occasion to disconnect it and use it in a completely different location (away from my current NAS storage and my main MC PC) ... and is it possible to accomplish this without having to copy or drag 5-10 albums at a time to the Id storage?
2. Have the Id "monitor" my main MC system and Windows PC -- so that whenever I add an album, the Id will also copy it to its own storage? ...Similarly to my main MC "watching" my network area and periodically (automatically) OR with a manual command importing any new album I add to the collection(?).
"The Id may need to be told to auto-import the files from the location where you move them. "

You can use Windows Explorer to copy as many files as you want.
You could set up MC's Handheld sync to copy new files to it.
