I use a QNAP mounted by NFS On the qnap media is stored in /Multimedia/music and playlists in /Multimedia/playlists By default access to Multimedia is by admin.administrators so I have a Windows user jim (me) who is a member of administrators. That lets me access and write via Windows. You then enable NFS on the Multimedia share and mount via fstab NFS is root.root which in QNAP terms is admin.adminstrators. Easy. LMS needs write access to playlists but as Squeezeboxserver user is a member of group root no additional messing is required. I imagine but not 100% sure that Synology will be identical. One of my QNAPs is probably as old as your Thecus but it still works in this way. I keep 3 QNAPs - 2 on-site and 1 remote - in sync for backup and a secondary LMS at the remote site.
