Yes.  All 3.  The problem is limited storage space.  I'm using a 256GB microSD card and all my music fits on it. 

A USB drive would normally be a solution, but I don't think it works well enough yet.

I'm using a 1TB bus powered USB drive with my Pi3 and I think it works just fine.  The only down side is about a 6 or 7 second pause in spinning up the drive if media center has been inactive for more than 1 hour.  I hardly even notice it.
