Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. I really appreciate it. Anyway, I now have a good idea of the options and I can weight them up. I can't re-purpose my current (soon to be old) computer as it's too big for the cupboard option and I don't feel like downsizing it to fit. I have an RPi s

OP, why don't you turn the old PC into a full-time server, stick it in a closet, and keep running all that stuff on it? If it's doing the things you need, switching to a NAS or RPi isn't going to make things any better. My setup is very similar to yours, but on a headless box out of the way and

For me it is Kodi on RPi (via OSMC) on RPi and LMS (via pCP) on a different RPi with content stored on relatively cheap NAS (e.g. WDMyCloud). I switched from Windows PC running LMS long long ago - with the intention of switching off the PC at night but that never happened. Paul Webster http://

I don't use Plex, just LMS, and I run it on a Raspberry Pi running LMS on piCoreplayer. Files are on a NAS. Both the NAS and Pi are wired connections to the router, all players are attached via wifi. This has been running with no real interruptions for a few years, and I leave the NAS and Pi on 2

OK, I'll chime in. I run a reasonably powerful Win 10 box as my main computer, use it for ripping DVDs and CDs etc, MusicIP analysis and tagging. Then I use FreeFileSync to copy it to a Vortexbox (VB) for streaming by LMS and Plex. Two advantages in this method - backup of all media and low power

Bump Come on. Please just quick advice form someone who's been there before (which I assume was many of you). It was the default position back in the early days of squeezebox (pre-2010). I'm still in default mode, but am wondering if I should/must move on in order to do what LMS (and now Plex) a
