If you wish, you can put your music files on a NAS, and LMS running on a PC will serve them to any Squeezebox player on your network. Both the NAS and the PC are connected to your router, not to each other. kidstypike LMS on Raspberry Pi 3/max2play/HiFiBerry DAC+ > AVI DM5 1 x SB3 - 1 x

1) Yes, you can continue using the apps. In fact they connect with LMS and LMS tells the player what to do. 2) You mean running LMS on the RasPi and pointing it to the music files on your PC? This makes no sense, IMO. The purpose of the RasPi would be to replace the PC for listening to your

Storing on a 2 drive NAS is sensible. It's a low power device and if you add a Pi for LMS which is also lower power you can leave it on. The Pi starter kit from Amazon is where to start it has averything you will need. Flash the SD card with either picoreplayer or max2play. If the former. Add

As karlek says, maybe yes, maybe no. It's still possible to run LMS on an "old style Qnap", but I have had no luck with the "uTube" plugin. In the end it's not really worth it. If you want to use a nas, just buy the one you fancy and get a rpi3 and run LM on that and point it at the nas for
