Raspberry PI for LMS with network storage for PC and Mac?

There's no USB3 on the Pi. And then it depends on your collection
whether transfer performance is even important. I have 20k tracks, the
Pi connected to an oldish NAS: scanning this way is actually faster than
when running LMS on the NAS itself. It really depends on a lot of factors.

You should not scan over WLAN, though. The server should always be
connected over Ethernet. But then again: for a few hundred CDs that
might still be good enough.
