Hello,

Since the app upgrade I can no longer access my library on an external hard drive connected to a USB port in my router because the latter is SAMBA v1. The router is my internet provider’s and they do not want to upgrade it. So I plan to buy a NAS server and consider Qnap TS133, mainly for budget reasons. Anyone has success reading music on Sonos with this NAS? I am asking because I read that the Qnap requires their proprietary music app QMusic that Sonos cannot access (I guess) and also that the speakers have to be wired for reading music from this NAS whereas mine are all wifi. 
Thanks in advance. 

Seems odd, although I don’t have that particular NAS. If it supports SMB v2 or V3 (.x), they wouldn’t be able to ‘block’ Sonos from reading the data stored on the NAS. 
 

Sonos does not need to be wired to access local music, but all devices do need to be on the same subnet (only a potential issue with a very few mesh devices). 

 My buddy has his music on a QNAP and is able to access it.  You should be able to create your own folder in the NAS then set it up for sharing in the NAS software.  I don’t own QNAP so not sure about the details.
