I think Dogberry2 was talking about LMS on NAS systems. And it is
increasingly difficult to find "official builds" for direct instalment
on various NAS systems.

I need to do some reading to understand what I can do with a Pi. Where
to start?
revoli's Profile:
LMS runs pretty well on my Netgear readynas 516.
I just upgraded to a 7.9.2 nightly the other day.
It uses one of the LMS debian packages along with a readynas add-in
available from a readynas forum user.
The add-on has not been updated for a while, but seems to work ok with
the new releases.
Another option could be a Synology NAS.
Myself, I replaced my Netgear Ultra 2 with a Synology DS716+II a couple
of years ago, and have only been happy with that choice. It even looks
like the Netgear (and equally fits in my CD-rack;-)). I use the
nightly-based LMS builds for Synology by Pinkdot.
I would say, take a pi for LMS and store the flac files on a new nas.

My Readynas Ultra 2 dedicated squeezebox server appears to have given up
the ghost and I need to migrate to something else. Whilst I have a PC
