I have my music files on NAS and have 2 instances of LMS using them via
NFS
One instance is a Pi4 the other is an old HP Microserver Quad Core with
8gb ram and crucially IMO the OS and LMS is on a small SSD. The Quad
Core and ram makes little difference except for scan speed as LMS being
single
I have pcp running on a pi (from 2 to 3 to 4 over the years)
LMS was running on either the nas, (where the music files are), or on a
virtual machine just for LMS
The current pi4 has way more power than needed for the task, so I tried
running LMS on it too.
works great.
So LMS can run on a)

only get worse?
Yes. SSL support being one reason. Plus you won't be able to keep your
Synology NAS up to date - which is bad.
2) Is a pi4 likely to feel like an improvement over the older NAS?
Yes, most likely.
I've been running LMS for a decade now on various Synology NAS using the
package provided.
My current one is running on an INTEL Atom D425 (1.8GHz) with 1GB RAM,
and is not bad at all.
However, sometimes on the players the server feels sluggish. (Players
