The bit rate of your FLAC files is measured in kilobits, your link speed will be measured in megabits.
I don't see how running of a "local" USB drive offers any benefits, unless it is a slightly faster initial build of the library.
Hello, thanks for the reply.
It is working very well at the moment and I don't get any drop outs - I have a router at each end of the house. It was more an issue of getting automatic backups happening better. There is a bit of lag when I open moode on my browser (maybe 5-10 seconds) but after that it runs pretty smoothly considering the size of the library.
When I run rsync to copy files from the external usb on my laptop over the network to the NAS it takes forever as it check 29k files for differences - the actual copying is quite fast, it is the processing that takes a long time. Depending on what has changed it can take up to 15 hours to process. If I made changes to the USB drive on my laptop then plugged it into the raspi, I was hoping to be able to automate a rsync backup from this location to the NAS, without the need for my laptop always being involved.
