My volumio music library is in directory /media/KINGSTON/ on my raspberry pi.
How do I mount it as windows network drive on my windows 7 machine?

‘/media’ is used by Linux for mounting removable storage such as usb flash drives. I don’t know (have never tried) if you can share it with samba. For a “normal” share you would need to edit:

/etc/samba/smb.conf

to include the directory that you would like to share with your Windows machine. Search Google for how to do this.

Edit smb.conf:
sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

Add following lines:
[usb]
comment = usb
path = /media
read only = no
guest ok = yes

Access it from windows with:
\VOLUMIO\usb

Thank you sonoskiller. This is a perfect solution.
The volumios usb stick is now a network drive of my windows notebook.
Cheers!
