Sure - thats a real PSU and delivers enough juice.
@pommes is the one living on the edge by using a USB port to power a pi.

Thanks yes - just wanting to know which is OS provides the most
I think the original draw for the piCorePlayer/RPi combo was as a
replacement for aging SqueezeBox hardware, as it was for me when my Classic

On the other hand, an Intel NUC7CJYH from Amazon.co.uk is £169.98.
I set up a new LMS server with a Pi4 from Amazon at £57.50, with a case
at about £20. It's powered via USB from the NAS, and I used a 32Gb SD
card I had lying around the place!

My main LMS server is a Pi4 running pCP. I make a periodic backup of the

easy to get up and running again.

A full rescan will result in a lot of write operations on the card,
decreasing it's life time.

If you're running a Windows machine for other purposes, I'm sure you can
likely make LMS run just fine. However, if you just want a simple LMS
box, small, low power consumption, incredibly reliable, regularly
community maintained etc., then I'm not why you'd look past running LMS

If you haven't used Win10 before, I find the automatic updates which
