Need to find a compatible NAS with Sonos

I looked at a lot of NAS devices and passed on the lot of them for my Sonos use. I have used either the SMB server or SMB gateway to provide local music files to my Sonos. The big advantage for me is that I have full control of the operation and updates, things that kept breaking on my WD setup.

My solutions plus one suggested to me by another Sonos user:

The Gateway option is really slick as it uses your existing NAS and any protocol you prefer to fetch your music files, then a properly configured for Sonos requirements SMB server to pass them on. A Raspberry Pi Zero is perfect for that task.

I have the same issue.  But with a Synology NAS, which after the recent update can no longer connect to Sonos S1.  While I can still use a streaming service, I have a lot on the NAS that isn’t available online.  While I am reasonably tech competent with Windows PCs (can build/update my own) I know nothing at all about Raspberry Pi construction or programming in Linux. I would need a full set of Instructions assuming no initial knowledge.  Does that exist anywhere? All advice gratefully accepted.

Did you look at the OpenMediaVault suggestion at the link I posted above?

Doesn’t get much simpler than that and both the Pi and the Vault folks have active user support communities.

Have you specifically enabled SMB v1?

Why is this so?
