However, I also installed Plex Media Server on my FreeNAS box. The files are actually on FreeNAS, shared to my computer via NFS. I then installed the Plex app on my Roku, so I can play them using through our home theater system as well. Currently, there are about 12,000 tracks. Disk space is cheap. Rip to a lossless format.
