Hi Snoil,
Tim is right, if you only have one player, its the easiest way to store the data on the moode-device.
You can reach the moode-device via network too, You can copy new music to it via smb.
I have 3 Playerdevices, so i had to store the music somewhere 24/7.
The Raspi 3B would be fine, it has Gbit-LAN, but LAN is connected via the USB-Bridge.
The USB-Bridge of the Pi 3B is only 2.0, so you will be limited to aprox. 30MB/s. But the USB-Connection to your external HD is also 2.0, so nothing happened ;-) .
I use an old M2. SSD Drive which was left over from upgrades of my Main-PC, the M.2 is in an external USB 3.0 case, this works totally fine.
And its a nice project to get into linux..
And for the ones that say its to energyconsuming to have a small homeserver, my SBC is an Odroid C2, it runs at 1.6 Watts when idling, which is nearly the standard. about 98% idling with 100Mhz.
