Thanks for all the comments guys and apologies for my lack of knowledge. Sure, I have an LMS system running but I got there pretty much by following instructions rather than acquiring any knowledge of Linux, nomenclature etc. Talk of clients, servers, distros etc just gets me confused ! By the way I have a RPI 3, running picoreplayer ( I assume this is the 'client', and LMS on the Vortexbox the server, and Squeezepad on the IPad simply accesses LMS over wifi. Perhaps I have asked the wrong sort of question, so let's assume I have nothing and want to build a system from scratch. What would I need ? 1) A Windows PC ( the server) 2) music Library (FLAC) stored on PC hard drive 3) LMS running on PC ( or an alternative as the GUi is a bit dated now and I may want to handle films later) 4) A client that receives streamed music from the server and feeds my stereo (picoreplayer player, or alternative, on the client ( eg RPI, squeezebox etc) 5) Tablet software to access and control LMS
When it was suggested running everything on a RPI what was meant ? Just having a single RPI connected to a hard drive ( would this just store the music library or other software ?). Would LMS and, say, picoreplayer all fit on the RPI SD card ? And how then do I get files onto the hard disk ?
