I use a Pi to run LMS with an attached hard drive. The PCp player includes Samba which will allow window 10 system to connect to the pi. I also use my windows system to add music and also use the hard drive attached to the pi as a on-site backup. I am not a Linux expert and I was able to set it up and use it. You will need a pi, case, and power supply. If you are concerned about electric use and heat, you might want a pi 3B. If you want a faster USB hub and want the latest get a 4. Read through the Pi core player documentation, it is not difficult but you do need atttention to syntax details. I had put off the transition to the pi, but wish I did it sooner as I am very happy with the little box that take up little space, makes no sound, and uses a lot less electricity than running a larger computer. Good luck. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Nelson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58158 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114718 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
