My suggestion is to use the configuration in the title:
- A Raspberry Pi 3 (better an Odroid if You have a large archive of
music);
- Max2Play software (that include LMS and other services), or
PicorePlayer as You prefer (I use Max2Play as server, Picoreplayer as
client);
- An external 3.5 HD
My listening habits are like Chris above: typically full albums. To the
OPs question when this thread was started last year, I use a Synology
115j for both music storage and LMS.
Its a low end, single bay NAS. Works great unless LMS is scanning the
library, then everything slows to a crawl.

Being a Newbie to the "NAS World" this is all very useful Info to me.
When chatting to the guy in my local Computer shop he did advise on a
Four Bay NAS(...and not because he just want to sell me one) His view
was in the future, I may want to expand and with a four bay no
probs.,More Back up

In the end it all comes down to the level of risk you want to take on.

The correct wording is: you don't want RAID 0 or 1 (usually two drive
RAID systems). But you do want at least RAID 5 (at least three drives).
RAID 5 (+) gives you two major pro's:
1. you'll have an easy way to increase your storage when needed (by
Hi,
IMHO Option6 is a bad idea - some rpi didnt use much energy a old pc
would do that.
a rpi even didnt need a fan.
Vortexbox? I (personaly) didnt like it - scan cds without any work? I
dont believe that - cause i know all the online databases they are full
of misstyped Artists, tracks, Genres.

I rip with dBPowerAmp on Windows 10 and just set the output path to
point to the VortexBox network drive.
I left the CD drive out of my VortexBox to reduce
Good option 6! Id forgot about Vortex box's. I know you can Rip CDs on
them and store. I always use dbpoweramp ripper Software, so maybe you
can incorporate this into the the ripping Process with them.
Must say, never had a NAS , so it all new to me...
