You could use the one pi with your USB drive attached and SMB File sharing turned on as a NAS.

Create a Music source on the other Pi's that references the NAS Pi.

After copying new music files to the NAS Pi
Menu, Update library
Then
Menu, Players, Action = Update library, Submit

All the Pi's will be up to date with respect to the Music collection

Hi @Tim Curtis,

Curiosity got the better of me and I thought I'd give your suggestion a try. Unfortunately I cannot mount the music source. The source is something I can access through Windows File Explorer.

If I've missed out some stage then I'd like to know what it is. If it's something more involved then please don't worry as I'm very happy to continue to use things as they are with local storage.

Thanks,
Nick
