Thanks for all the excellent contributions above! No doubt all good
suggestions! The Rasberry PI looks really cool and may be my choice when
the PC finally dies.

markm9999:
What I did not mention in my original post was that I also have a
serious health issue, so when the PC got the blue screen (and I read
about the issues with this windows update) I started a recovery of the
previous update. When I got no longer than to the boot menu after the
recovery, I kind of gave up. Although I have not tried I am sure I can
get to the boot menu and sort out some problems there. I've just not
been up to it yet.

NAS and Amahi are not important - just "words" I read while looking for
possible LMS server alternatives. Having recently turned 60 words in ads
like "one-click-solutions" sounds more and more tempting to me -
although I am at the moment (off topic!) working hard to learn the
complex JOSM software for Openstreetmap.org.

The music 4TB HD in the old PC is not that old. It will probably still
run for years.
I would, however, like to have at least another HD there for backup
purposes. I've put so much work into that library!

I am replacing the old PC with a laptop now. Because of that, it would
be nice to have some kind of network disk together with LMS in that old
PC. That is all.  If Daphile can do that, great, if not - well LMS is,
as I said, what really counts here!
