If that works for you, great. But I for one like to listen to music when I'm out and about and don't have access to an NFS mount.

1. What if I add new music? I have to update every SD card.

2. What if I want more music than is easily carried on an SD card? I have literal TBs of music.

So a TB drive drive doesn't work for you?

Jellyfin and a domain name with a dynamic DNS update will do that for you, no problem.

In the house: NFS read-only for desktops and laptops; Owntone to send music to Wiim Mini or stereo receivers (Yamaha, Denon, Marantz, Onkyo -- all of them are compatible).

Outside the house, JellyAmp on phones.

512gb mSD card in a cheap android phone + VLC app works wonders.
