I thought your preference would be for #1. An idea. When you have worked it all out using a couple of thumb drives. Get 2 identical USB drives. Make them both clones of your full music collection. You will need to get the formatting and data structure right. Keep one at home and one at the remote location. Before you go to the remote location update the home one and take it with you and swap it before use. Bring back the other and redo.
