Ah! So you build a Pi NAS and slap Plex on it. My only limitation is that I have an older Synology that I'd like to keep going. It won't run Plex. My option there was to upgrade to a newer Synology, but that's $160. I guess I could just set up the NAS shares on the Pi to index and play the music. Thanks, this is a good alternative, HP. I am very familiar with Pi so it might be an easy project!
i subscribed to jambase/rhapsody for like 15 years, but switched to apple a couple years ago b/c rhapsody started crashing on me all the time. definitely worth $10/month. its been super rare that they dont have something im looking for. i like the format and the ability to build a library of albums and make playlists. never had any technical issues at all. smooth sailing.
