Its going to be cheaper, easier and better to have several dedicated
boxes that are good at what they do instead of getting an over
priced/complex NAS box that does it all.
Follow mhergers advice and use the NAS for storing music files (which
its good at) and get a Raspberry Pi for running LMS (which its good
at).
Trying to let the NAS do everything will just result in that you need a
more expensive/complex NAS than whats needed. The system as a whole
would be harder to maintain since the NAS manufacturer doesnt support
LMS as standard so its going to break something sooner or later if you
like the NAS to be updated with the latest security/OS versions.
If you just want to see one box, put the NAS and Raspberry Pi together
in a larger box. Even the electricity bill is likely going to be lower
with two boxes since it means that you can get a less power hungry NAS
if it only needs to provide storage and not run all sorts of
applications.
