Sonos Music server

[DaFixer]

Hi, for 3 years i'm running a music server for my Sonos setup based on a Raspberry Pi.
When I get my Sonos setup, I was already planning to my Qnap NAS for the music storage.
But my Qnap was getting full and a bit outdated, so I made a simple samba server only to stream music.

Hardware I was using:
Raspberry Pi 3B+
1TB 2.5 inch HDD (from a old notebook)
SataToUSB Adapter
Case
8GB MicroSD
5V 3A Power Supply

Software:
Raspberry Pi OS (with some tweaks)
Sound Normalizer (only for the music on the server)

After follow a guide to setup a Samba Server I must set it to SMBv1, because Sonos only uses that.
Soon I playing music from my Sonos Music Server, days after I busy copy all my music.
I'm very happy with it, now I can stream music in FLAC/MP3 and also the music (bootlegs) what you not can't find on Spotify.
And all my music is normalized (only for Sonos)



For now this is working, maybe later on I want to update it or build it in a plastic case.

Lyrion?

Little update to my Sonos music server, I use now a RBPi 4 2GB and a 1TB SSD.
I'm busy making a Pi rack with a another RBPi projects (like my Jellyfin music server for on the go).
But lately there was allot off trouble with "new" Sonos app, that allot off local music playback features.
After many updates that is now working know (80%).
So I can enjoy my music again.
