Crazy, convoluted work around for long rescan times from network share?

[tboooe]

I understand that doing a rescan from a network share is no where as fast as from a local drive. In my case, rescanning takes even longer since my network share is accessed wirelessly. Rescanning my 40k song library takes hours. However, I think I have a crazy work around that I would like to ask if its possible.

I have a Qnap nas that also runs Minimserver. Because I think the music sounds better with Minimserver running on my pc I don't use the Qnap as a music server. However, rescanning the library from the Qnap is much faster. I assume when a rescan is done the results are written to a file that is read each time Minimserver is restarted after a shutdown. Can I copy the file from the Qnap and use it in my PC? I assume I would have to correct the music path information and some other info but I am hoping this would be an easy find and replace task.

I know this work around is convoluted but it would still take far less time than waiting for the PC to finish a rescan.
