I have my cd library saved on external HDs and on thumb drives for use with my Bryston BDP-1/BDA-1 combo. Is there a way I can also save my music files to the Cloud? I'm boxing up my CDs and getting them out of my family room and placing them in storage.
I have 3 2TB drives from Western Digital. The first is one I use to listen to music with, the second is safely tucked away in storage as a backup and the third is in a safety deposit box in a bank.
It seems that unless you need to access music remotely due to travel, a cheap hard drive is the way to go. They can be small and many also have Bluetooth if that is useful for you.
PLex media server runs on your computer and enables hi res remote internet access ( not just for audio but HD video and photos) via web browser or mobile apps.
No need for files to leave your home or be copied to the cloud which will take forever for a large library initially as pointed out.
PLEX server is free as is browser access and just requires setting up an account on plex.tv site. Mobile apps are $5.
Plex has its quircks still but overall works and sounds great.
I run plex on an amazon TV box at home which supports high res audio formats and has toslink audio out to your dac of choice. Your hdtv becomes your user interface.
I also listen remotely using computer browser from work and from various mobile phones and tablets.
This past weekend I was listening to my home music library remotely while out of town in DC on an overnite vacation using good quality headphones with my wife's iphone. Nice!!!!
