I am in a bind. My hp mediasmart server is crashing repeatedly as of today, and I'm scrambling to decide on a new home server. One main use of the server is to stream our 20,000+ music library to duet, boom, radio. I also use the server to backup 4 household computers daily and to store a large photo and video collection, etc. So, after a few hours of research I am planning to buy the Synology DS1515+.
But, can I still use all my squeezeboxes with that server? Any advice on set up?
Also, my duet is very flaky and I routinely have to factory restore it to get it running again. So, I've been wondering about switching to stupid Sonos. But, our music collection is in FLAC and I was reading about some issues with FLAC and Sonos.
I would be so grateful for any advice. I wasn't planning to have to figure all this out this week! Thanks for any ideas.
