How do I play music over my network, what device does this? Thank you.

I'm trying to figure out a way I can store all my Music CDs and play them from various devices such as my TV, phone, computer.  

 

I'm not sure what device does this or what to look for.   Thank you in advance.

The NAS has a DLNA server built in, and also supports Plex.  Most smart TVs have DLNA clients, and many have Plex built in.  Media players (for instance Roku and Firestick) also include the Plex app.  Mobile devices and PCs have similar clients.

 

There is an iTunes server built into the NAS, but the "home sharing" feature isn't available.  That's needed for Apple TV and iOS - the only workaround I know of is to keep the Apple iTunes software running on a PC (storing the music on the NAS).

 

As noted above, Sonos / LMS is also an option.
