So, I have MC running on one computer (all files on a 2TB external drive). I also keep an identical copy as a backup on another 2TB external drive. I play my music in two different locations in the house (each with computer/DAC/speakers etc.) My question is this:
Is it better to use the first computer as a library server for the second, and just keep my backup drive hidden away for security purposes, OR plug the second backup drive in the other computer and use that drive instead. To connect with the library server, I will have to go under the house and run a cable to create a network. Is it worth the trouble?
What, then, are the pros and cons of library server vs duplicate drive for computer #2? (Of course, I know the library server method allows for things such as easy tag changes, centralized playlists, updated numbers of plays etc., but I don't really need that). Are there, for instance likely to be any sound differences or other issues?
