Easiest is to just install moode on a Pi4 or pi5, connect it via Ethernet to your Router, plug in your USB drive, open the System Config screen, turn on SMB file sharing, turn off the integrated WiFi adapter, reboot and use it as a NAS and optionally also as a Multiroom Sender.
Notes:
- End-to-end throughput between NAS and other Pi's on WiFi network largely depends on throughput of WiFi network.
- Use Fat32 (VFAT) for USB drive format for max speed and compatibility with Linux, Windows, Mac
- Use 5GHz WiFi band for best throughput and least interferrence
- Apple ALAC format files take longer to scan by MPD than FLAC and other audio formats.
