I tried some solutions to store my Music collections (FLAC)
Here the story of my Squeezebox Touch ..:)
2013 Use my laptop as storage and run LMS, running well but I have turn
on my laptop 24x7.
2014 SD Card inserted to SB, mine is 32GB. You can try use bigger size
GB .This solution for music
In many ways your PC is more versatile than a NAS, so I strongly support
the idea of starting using your regular PC for LMS. It's powerfull and
has an OS that You're familiar with. And it's cheap - You already have
it ;-)
If you're think it uses to much power, consider hooking it up to
Ethernet
Here was my setup: two Squeezebox Receivers with Controller, Squeezebox
Touch, LMS running on a Windows PC, music files stored on the Windows
PC. Before that, I had LMS running on a Western Digital My Book Live
(1tb), music files stored on the same. The latter setup was slow but
quiet; the former
re 1:
- let LMS start automatically when the PC starts up
- let the PC fall into sleep mode when it's not used, there's a plugin
(to be activated on the LMS settings page) that prevents this as long as
a player is on
- enable wake-on-lan (WOL) on the PC (you can get more details how to
configure

When Logitech build "new" Squeezeboxes they also did a job to involve
NAS builders to add LMS into their NAS.
Only the Netgear ReadyNAS ever got "official" support from us. All
others have done it on their own, or based on some community work.
Nothing has changed in this regard.

Its a bit more complicated...
When Logitech build "new" Squeezeboxes they also did a job to involve
NAS builders to add LMS into their NAS. Most of the NASses (that
And why not just consider buying a RaspberryPi, install
www.max2play.com, plug a hard drive and use it for server/files only.
Currently I am using an Intel NUC, it does work great, but I am more and
more considering moving to max2play. I believe it's even more cost
effective (power use).
I've
I have a setup similar to a NAS a HP microserver running a Linux server
OS ( no gui or desktop ) administration remetoly via web browser and
comand Shell , just like a NAS .
If i did this today an intel NUC would be a thing to consider .
The thing is to not cheap out on CPU and memory if you
