 I did use Bubble UPnP Server on my Windows PC to make my Sonos Port an Open Home player.  Now I can use the Linn controller to access my library via MinimServer.

The 2 W has some nice specs so it should do fine. Hate the prices/tax you have though.

If you have spare bits laying around a USB to SATA cable and an old SATA SSD makes a nice upgrade. Put the music on the SSD and the OS and stuff can live on the SD card making updates easier. A copy of all edited configuration files stuck on the SSD is handy too. If not then a thumb drive for the music is a decent option.

The Media Vault option looks a lot easier than the straight Samba option so I wouldn’t rule it out for folks looking for simple.

Plenty of stuff lying around, cables, hard drives, thumb drives, SD Cards etc.

I like the idea of only being 2W as it would be powered up 24/7.

It’s the what do I need and how do I do it that I am struggling with.
