Thanks so much for your explanations, Farina!
Actually this week in the evening I managed to point the music library
on LMS (picoreplayer) to the right location on the NAS (Synology), using
NFS. But it was a lot of work, and messing around (it's quite hard if
you don't know exactly what you're doing or why). But it was doable
eventually, with the documentation on picoreplayer.org and some
additional info from old forum threads.

Anyways, I'm not sure if this is the case but it sounds like CIFS might
be a pretty solid alternative. So I might read up on that a little and
give it a shot if it turns out to be a better option.

About your suggestion of using Raspberry Pis for your Hifi multiroom
system, yes I am aware of what you can do with them. But I did not
realize that it was relatively easy to do, until I read some more about
it online (which I did after being pointed to the Raspberry solution for
LMS by Michael Herger at the start of this thread).

So I'm now considering to resell one or both second hand Squeezeboxes
Classics that I recently purchased as backups. It is not so important to
keep them, knowing now that the Raspberry HiFi alternative is doable and
kindof fun. It's also more durable to return my backup SBs to the pool
of second SBs so that a fan can still put them to good use.

So thanks a lot for your support and suggestions.

Now for this weekend I have planned to install Spotty, to see how well
it works compared to Tidal :)
