Hello to the MediaMonkey Forum.
I'm not quite sure if I published my post in the right right section. If not, please move it to the right one.
I've been using the software for a long time and appreciate it. My music library is relatively large with about 15'000 titles. The music is stored on a synology ds220+ and I usually listen to it via my receiver, which supports DLNA. Unfortunately, the music selection via the manufacturer's app is a bit crabby and not optimal. It is much more convenient if I run MediaMonkey and install the MMRemote5 app with my smartphone.
So I have the comfort I want for music selection. But this has the big disadvantage that the notebook and MediaMonkey always have to run when I want to listen to music. That's why I wondered if it wasn't possible to run an application directly on the NAS. Synology has the DS Audio app. I have had rather negative experiences with it. It frequently crashes during playback and the software doesn't seem to be maintained at all. I don't know when they did the last update, it's a pity.
In addition, it can't handle it when you define several genres for one title. In MM, I can separate the genres with a ; between. Unfortunately, other applications usually do not understand this separator. I've already searched the web for solutions, but haven't figured out if such a app for my NAS really exists. The whole thing should work reliably, otherwise it's no fun. Now I'm looking forward to your answers.
Kind regards, Daniel

No native MediaMonkey server for Synology NAS best workaround is running MediaMonkey on a PC or using DLNA/Plex as an alternative server.

Hi,
There is MM Server on Linux NAS servers and it was started at https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=31 but due the limited resources it is stalled at least till MM for Mac (MMM) gets released.
Personally, alongside MMS if you want to use paid solution I prefer https://www.dbpoweramp.com/asset-upnp-synology-install as a fast clean and one time payment application https://secure.dbpoweramp.com/store_combi.aspx?c=8
Reason for that is that I can use MMW for all management and file/folder movements, while Asset UPNP do the heavy load of serving Files to rest of clients.
