This soulds lie a perfect job for a NAS.
YEars ago I picked up a couple of Buffalo NAS's that I copied my music to.
They worked great, albeit slow. Over the years and the lack of support for TLS,
I upgraded to the Synology line of NAS's and since then have even ripped all of
my DVD's to. This way, using either my PC, or my Roku using the media player,
have full access to all of my entertainment. For a while I was running a Kodi
like media player on a Pi that played the files from the NAS.
My son has followed suit by setting up a Plex server for his Synology for all
his movies and music.
