The whole system consist of: 1. A client/user interface, this can be one of: - A Squeezebox Controller hardware if you have a duet: https://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Squeezebox_Controller.html - A smart phone/tablet running a Squeezebox app, for example Squeeze Commander - A smart phone/tablet/computer accessing LMS via a web browser, this would typically be user for configuring LMS or accessing the third party Material skin which you optionally can install in LMS 2. An LMS server which makes music files/streaming services available to player and user interface, this can be one of: - A NAS with LMS installed, like in your old setup - A Raspberry Pi, or similar device, with LMS installed, like in your new setup. Easiest would probably be to use piCorePlayer and install it as LMS server. - A traditional computer with LMS installed 3. A player, this can be one of - A Squeezebox hardware player, like the Reciever which is part of your Duet package: https://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Squeezebox_Receiver.html - A Squeezebox software player installed on same device as LMS or on separate hardware, for example the software player included with piCorePlayer 4. Music file storage, this can be one of: - An hard drive on the device running LMS, this was the case in your old setup where LMS was running on the NAS and the music files were located on a hard drive in the NAS - On an hard drive in a separate NAS/computer exposing them on the network, this would be the case in your new setup Basically there are a few things that are different compared to your old setup: - When accessing LMS via Squeeze Commander you need to make sure Squeeze Commander connects to LMS on the Raspberry Pi instead of NAS. I dont remember if Squeeze Commander automatically discovers LMS on the network or if you have to manually specify the IP address. - When configuring LMS/Raspberry Pi you will have to mount the directory/share on the NAS where the music files are, I believe the instruction Michael linked to earlier describes how to do this with piCorePlayer - I dont remember if you also might need to reconfigure the Squeezebox Duet to let it know that LMS now runs on the Raspberry Pi and not on the NAS.
