So I got my Plex media running and really loving it so far.
Now I have to move onto my music. I have about 250gigs of FLAC files ranging from 16bit/44.1 to 24bit/96 and over 100 gigs of AAC and MP3 files all encoded at 256kHz or 320kHz. The FLAC files are all arranged according by Artist/Album/Song tracks as are the AAC and MP3s. The AAC/MP3 files are also loaded into my iTunes on my laptop (there is a large percentage of ALAC files there as well). I noticed there are few plugins here for audio media servers and I am looking for some advice and input on what forum members here have found useful. The FLAC files will be played on either one of my two Onkyo receivers over a wired network and I will also need to set up an iTunes media server for my Apple devices and iTunes apps loaded on other devices. I guess of there is a media server that will transcode FLAC, I can consider it as well. Being able to access the files from outside my network would be a bonus.
Thank you in advance for any input.
