Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Server Machine Alternatives.
Well that was easy (ish) The Pi, SSD and a usb enclosure for the SSD arrived this morning and it's all up and running and currently copying my library from the old machine to the SSD. When the adaptor board arrives I'll move the SSD onto that and put it all in a little case. Thanks for all the help guys, I couldn't have done it without you.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Server Machine Alternatives.
Well everything is ordered so we'll see how I get on setting it up. As d6jg suggested, is there a benefit to have the LMS cache and prefs on the SSD?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Server Machine Alternatives.
Sorry I deleted that post because I spoke to my brother and ordered a mSata SSD and mounting board. I'll let you know how it goes.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Server Machine Alternatives.
Ok one last question ;-) If I'm going with a SSD should I get an external USB drive and find a case to house both or get an expansion board (Geekworm X820?) and use a sata SSD? which I guess would limit me to the Geekworm case.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Server Machine Alternatives.
My library is around 19000 tracks in flac so they're all streamed native unless they're hi res ones streaming to SB2's which are transcoded I think. I'm not a big use of playlists.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Server Machine Alternatives.
ok thanks, So it looks like I'd be better with the Pi3B+ then add a SSD for a tiny silent server. I'll think I'll get that passed the boss :-) Craig MC2Slim - Windows Shell and J River Media Center Integration for Squeezebox. http://www.duff-zapp.co.uk Craig's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=96 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110796 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Ok thanks, what memory spec would be best? and will I be able to share the storage on the network so I can do my ripping from my main pc?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Server Machine Alternatives.
OK so it looks like Pi4's are available in 1,2 or 4G memory configs, If I bought one of these then I need to put LMS and PiCorePlayer on it but do I need an OS too? the one I was looking at offers NOOBS on a card for £8. I'd just have a play around with storage that I already have until I'm ready to go with it. Does that sound like a good plan?

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Server Machine Alternatives.
Thanks for the replies, My library is currently 460G so if I went with the Pi would I be able to attach a SSD or would a large USB flash drive be a better option?

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Server Machine Alternatives.
I've had LMS running on an old XP PC for many years but house renovating has caused suggestions of something smaller. What are my best options, I just need to run LMS and offer a network share of my music drive to other machines.
