Why don't you store your music on the QNAP and have LMS / WHS read it from there? I agree that a QNAP won't do MusicIP etc but if you had your music files there then the Cloud Sync is going to be easy. There is some performance hit by going through the USB port. I have all my files on a QNAP but LMS runs on a server class PC running Vortexbox with NFS mount to the QNAP (but it could just as easily be SMB). I am lucky enough to have a second QNAP sitting in a remote location and I sync them using the QNAP built in Remote Replication. If I didn't have that then I'd use the Hybrid Cloud Backup App like you are. *Vortexbox LMS 7.9 music on QNAP TS419p via NFS* iThingys/iPeng/Tablets *Living Room* - SB3 -> Onkyo TS606 - > Celestion Ditton F20s - Zone 2 -> Sony TA FE 320 -> Sennheiser RS 130 & B&W P7 *Office* - RPi -> Sony TA FE320 -> Celestion F10s / SB3 -> Onkyo CRN 755 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes *Dining Room* -> SB Boom *Kitchen* -> UE Radio (upgraded to SB Radio) *Bedroom (Bedside)* - SB Touch -> Topping TP21 -> AKG Headphones *Bedroom (TV)* - Amazon Fire TV (SB Player) -> Topping TP20 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes ------------------------------------------------------------------------ d6jg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44051 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107345
