Would like to do this, but am concerned with the first step there... The library is 120k(-ish) tracks, all seen as being on a local (D:) drive under a single (\music) folder.
So if I were to share that folder and scanned \\192.168.1.x\music, does that "just" update the location of found tracks, add an entire new location node, some hybrid of the two (like updating location and other attributes?), or something else I haven't imagined yet?
Assuming it's a new location node, I could then set MM to monitor that as well, and it'd stay in sync with the existing drive node?
Guessing it'd be an "overnight" task given the number of tracks, and that attempts to try over would be rather frustrating, so just trying to get a sense of what to expect.
Thanks!

Many will have their files on a network share instead of on 2 or more computers and the database can be shared:
