Default Extracting music file from Hifidelio music server

The Hifidelio music server does not (by default) expose the music files that
have been ripped to the hard drive - however it runs Linux 2.4.26 and uses
samba to expose an import directory to Windows that can be used to copy
files for importing. In order to expose the internal music folder that
contains all of the stored music tracks, it is a simple matter of using
telnet to login to the Hifidelio (enable this from the settings-services
menu, default user name is root, password is also root) and then edit the
/opt/samba/lib/smb.conf file - just use vi to edit the file and copy the
settings at the end for the [Import] section - just rename import to music
and change the "writable" flag to no so you can't accidentally delete the
files.

Once this change has been made the music directory should be immediately
available under the "Hifidelio" shares - you can then copy (and backup) your
music files to your PC. I hope this is of use to any other Hifidelio users
(or potential users) out there.

- Simon.
