I’ve got a large music library on my PC, that I copied over to my QNAP NAS a few years ago but have never exploited or linked through to SONOS - I’ve really only used Spotify with SONOS. . It’s easy to manage my library on my PC (I use Mediamonkey), but never quite figured out my best options to manage it on my NAS.
I use Plex (paid lifetime pass) on my NAS / PC / TV / Phone for my video media, and it’s great. However it doesn’t seem so good for managing audio and I’m not convinced Plexamp is any better (despite the rave reviews). I can’t import my playlists and Plex doesn’t recognise the ratings I’ve already added to all of my audio and that I use all the time on Mediamonkey, so my options to manage, listen to and filter music I want to listen to is limited.
The SONOS Music Library also doesn’t recognise ratings, so can’t filter there either, so suspect playlists might be the only way I’ve got of filtering my music, meaning I’ve got to be able to better manage it on the server.
Anyone know what my best options might be for managing music on my NAS, and then connecting through to my SONOS? (SONOS can see the NAS - connectivity doesn’t seem to be a problem at this point!). Would be good if there was an app or something I can use to play through SONOS as well (as I can with Spotify), but suspect that’s unlikely and the lack of options on the SONOS app make server management / filtering / playlists more important.
Roon seems to be an option on the server, but don’t know the first thing about it! Dunno what other QNAP options I have, but the default media server doesn’t seem to have imported ratings either :/
