I'm currently using a laptop with 4 external 2 TB drives for storage of
215,000 Flac and MP3 files.
Things are a bit unwieldy and backup is time consuming. Each drive
takes 12-24 hours to backup over USB 2.0.
I need to add another drive soon as I am running over about 7 TB of
actual files.
I like the dark look, too.

Thank you but that was not what my wife wanted. Docking is so 00s ;) -
for example one can't use the iPad for other stuff when docked. I have
to order these speakers today for Christmas to be Merry.

OK. But as I noted, I'm not sure airplay works with LMS. Someone else

Hi,
you must decide which way you wanna die...
~138 MB/s is the fastest SATA Harddisk thats aviable for Money - if you
wanna go higher you have to chosse SSD.
But 9 TB made of a bunch of SSD is a bit expensive?
Small Backuptimes and real Big Disks are not possible.

There are instructions somewhere on how to install from USB, but they
were so convoluted that I gave in and burned a CD. Usually I burn to

Well it's not LMS itself that'd use airplay but ipeng playback to

OK, I've answered your mail with a bit more detail but let'S do the
short version here, too, to avoid confusion:
AirPlay does of course not work directly with LMS but it DOES work just
fine with iPeng's playback. Under iOS 7 some people have even been
successful in using synchronization although
Regarding the time it takes to rip a single CD:
among other factors like quality of your CD drive and your CD, it also
depends on whether it's a real Audio CD or not: it feels like decades
ago but in fact it is not so long ago that parts of the music industry
tried hard to prevent copying a CD.
I'm trying to get MusicIP running on a QNAP, and looking through logs
for clues I am finding a bunch of errors as below, consistently
appearing.
Are these indicating a serious issue, and how do I find out what is
causing them?..

Try to restart the server (software). That usually helps.
But only do it, if you really have a problem, otherwise it's harmless.
A problem would be that you can't access online services.

I would recommend a good NAS for such storage needs. USB drives are
probably the worst storage means, especially for large storage needs;
and 8 TB is huge.
A decent NAS has plenty of power these days, technology has improved a
lot.
There are different ways to backup a NAS and the great part is

Alternatively, you could use Bluetooth speakers connected to your
