Part b of my reply 
It occurs to me that you may be using the Synology for a variety of purposes besides hosting your music collection.
How big is the collection? If it's less than, say, 1TB, you could build a second NAS with a much less expensive SSD and put the music there.
You can get a 1TB SanDisk Ultra 3D SSD direct from the Western Digital store for the current sale price of USD 140 and an Odroid-HC2 from Ameridroid for USD 65 plus another USD 15 or so for case and power supply and end up with a NAS for half the cost of just a 4TD SSD. (Full disclosure: this is what I did some years ago with the previous Odroid-HC1. It has been running OpenMediaVault continuously for three years, not counting the times I've shut if off to move it or to change to a bigger drive.)
Even cheaper, you put your music on a local USB SSD. In particular, USB3 thumbdrives work great on the new RPi4Bs.
