I'm building something similar using a Raspberry Pi 3 B+. For now, I'm just planning on installing LMS manually on top of Raspbian. I don't currently plan on using the RPi as a player; if that changes I may look at piCorePlayer or max2play. I'm planning on storing my music on a 2TB external HDD, and using rsync to back the files up to another 2TB external HDD connected to the same RPi. I know that doesn't give me offsite backup, and I may try to figure that out later. One question I have is which file system to use on the external drive. Currently i have my LMS running on a 20yr old dell desktop, and the music is on an NTFS formatted drive. I know that I will have to install ntfs-3g in order to provide read/write access. I also need to be able to share the music folder, as I will use a different computer for ripping a few more CDs, and I will need to be able to add new downloads. I likely won't be using the RPi for anything else, and there will be only one logon. Do I need to use a native Linux filesystem (EXT3) or will NTFS work for what I'm planning?
