In Reply to: RE: LMS on a Diskstation posted by Skip Pack on October 21, 2014 at 07:33:30
Hi and thanks but i have to ask explanation ... i am quite ignorant on the issue. You say ..." I have run LMS 7.7.3, which Synology provides, and it works fine. "
is this a SW for win 7 pc ?
" The diskstation doesn't have the power to serve high resolution files but it does fine on 44.1k and 48k files. "
I see. Well this is bad but i thank you for this "sad" but important information.
" I used this with a Squeezebox SB3. I have since moved to an old laptop converted to Lubuntu which can run later versions of LMS' successor, Squeezeboxserver and work with more files and processing.
Skip "actually i would prefer to use a pc to stream the files stored in the Synology
I have already a dedicated pc to use it with the nas.
But as i said i have seen that inside the Synology Package Center is available a program called Audio Station that is a wav player and seems to sound fine to me
Have you tried it ?
Thanks again
Kind regards,

Rather than quote your message, I'll just answer here:
LMS stands for Logitech Media Server which is the server software that streams to Squeezeboxes or Transporters via wired or wireless internet. Since Squeezeboxes cannot handle a sampling rate above 48khz, the server side software samples downward by taking every second or fourth sample to get to either 44.1k or 48, This downsampling is what seemed to be too much for my diskstation implementation.
LMS and the newer (non-Logitech) Squeesboxserver are available for Windows (XP,Vista,7,8), Mac, or Linux. They only work with rendering devices like
Squeezeboxes or Transporters, but things have opened up for the brave with an opensource package for computers serving as renderers. This is named Squeezelite, and has proven successful for a lot of people. It is not for those uncomfortable with digging a bit deeper into their computer's OS. It is a natural for a Linux user.
Your setup using the NAS as a fileserver only with the player/server/rendering software on other devices seems best to me and is how I plan to use mine going forward.
I have not tried Audio Station or Minim Server, another streaming package that I have heard works well on a Diskstation.

Hi and thanks so much again
I will go on like you recommend .. i am completely ignorant on OS mod or anything a little more than basic
By the way if you want to try Synology Audio Station you will find it in the Package Center
Thanks again
