Hi folks, I have graduated to n>1 moOde appliances in the house. I have a library of FLAC music files on the main one. I can see at least three different ways of sharing the tunes... SMB, NFS or DLNA.
Is there any consensus on the best way to give other moOdes access be able to play the tunes?
I'm still thinking about implementing multiroom, but that's for another time when I can justify units in n+1 rooms.

I was also not sure and tried it out over some months (SMB/NFS to NAS) Both ran quite smooth. From time to time small issues. But this could be the router, NAS, etc... In general I could not tell which protocol is more stable/unstable. In the end I decided for NFS. Reason is that I do only have Android/Linux devices in the household that do connect to the NAS. And the connection from my main desktop to the NAS is definetly more stable via NFS.

I also run a NAS and go with SMB service.
And four RPi/MoOde streamers.

Another vote for SMB, used it to test a pi5 from my pi4 based player.

Thanks all. I was leaning towards nfs due to my previous experience as a Unix sysadmin, but I decided to try SMB when I realized that I can simply mount the music directory on my Windows maching through Samba, and rip CDs and maintain the MP3 tags directly without having to transfer them through scp.
