Okay, so I've currently got a chromecast audio hooked up to my 2.1 system.

The problem is that I have tons of music on my computer that I can't access. I am think about getting a DLNA NAS for all of my music. From what I have been able to find it looks like with bubble upnp app I can connect the chromecast audio to my NAS.

I am just having trouble visualizing how to put this all together. Is there a more simple way to go about this?

TIA

Several of the newer nas support Plex which is my go to for all media and can cast.

You can dump it all in google music if you want.
this is the correct answer. Never lose your music even if your hard drive crashes and there's that whole "available anywhere you are"part.

Going to try the Google music route. I was not aware of that feature. It's gonna take a long arse time to upload all my music though

No it won't. If Google has an album already in their library it will simply point to that and not upload your copy.

You'll be done overnight or quicker.

Make sure you click "higher quality" in music settings so it will stream at 320kbps.
