Have you read http://monroeworld.com/android/subsonic/ with particular attention to the permissions for shared drive section.
Everyone is entitled to be stupid, Image but some abuse the privilege!

Due to the confusion from too many genres of music, we have decided to put both country music and rap music into the genre of Crap music.

If Z: is a mapped drive Subsonic will NOT recognize it. Use the UNC to the share and edit the logon for the subsonic service in windows as described in the link in the post below.

You will also have touble if your media is all in a defined path in subsonic without being placed in folders.

e.g. X:\music = defined path in Settings/Music Folders and all the tracks are just in the \music directory

Subsonic likes the music organized into:

X:\Music\Artist\Album\Tracks

So the Settings/Music folder would be

X:\Music

and then SS would display all the Artist folders in the left column.

If tracks are just placed in the root of a defined folder, then the tracks will appear in the left column on the desktop but will not appear on a phone app because it won't see any folders.
