For a drive plugged in, using /storage and having LMS setup for that by
default I think is a good "you don't do any setup". Of course if people
plug in a drive with music already on it they can configure LMS to point
to wherever the music is. 

For remote shares I think the best way to do it would be a "list all
shares" button which goes out and finds CIFS and NFS shares on the local
network and lets the user choose which one. That would handle most of
the people that want to use a NAS. 

For people that want to use multiple shares or combination of share and
local etc you could probably leave that to editing a file etc. 

For my own personal use I have a remote server and will continue to use
that. Occasionally CSOS might get used with a local LMS, either with  a
local drive (taking  it with  me on  vacation) or via a share (when
testing out weird things and just want to connect to the existing
network share)
