I have been a Squeezebox touch user for well over a decade, and find myself completely thwarted by my problems with the LMS on my Synology DS418j.
So, I either sell my Touch and start from scratch again with something like a PecanPi, or I find another solution for LMS. So, this is my latest iteration in a possible solution. I shall give you a brief topology. My home has a full cat6 network that runs to a central cabinet downstairs. I have my Touch connected to my stereo, and it is connected via a cat 6 cable. Solution: 1) Buy a cheap refurbished Dell OptiFlex 9020 i7 small form factor for under $200 with Windows 10 already installed. 2) Throw in two 1 TB HDD (I believe SSD are not necessary for this purpose) probably around $150 3) Install LMS and copy my music library from my NAS to the Dell. 4) put it in the server cabinet. 5) Live happily ever after. Does this sound like a viable, long term solution, or is there a simpler turnkey solution that will ensure longevity, or am I fighting a loosing battle? Thank you in advance for your help on this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DavidBullock62's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=72189 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116263 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
