NAS Music Server

Hello Arch users,

I am currently using Google Play Music, uploaded all my music collection of more than 22,000 songs but it's obviously going to be shut down and after trying Youtube Music I am in need of a replacement to be able to play my music from anywhere.

I currently have a NAS running Archlinux hosting all my media to use throughout the house. However, after searching the web for a replacement to Google Play Music I can't find what I am looking for, so I am now looking at turning the NAS as my own cloud music server.

One of the key points would be a lightweight app as the NAS isn't very powerful and something that I can widely especially with a Android Auto compatible media player.

Any suggestion?

Re: NAS Music Server

How does the CPU-power of the NAS factor in?  Unless it's running really CPU-intensive stuff, you're using it to stream small files to various devices, no?

Hi graysky,

Thank you for your reply, it's not just the CPU it's also the ram that is low. I am already running few services on it that's it.

Re: NAS Music Server

In any case, I would think streaming music would be pretty a light load.  Find out what requirements are on your player end and then look at a Linux solution that serves up that particular content.
