Yes. Also, there is a newer 1.0.9 version of the app in super-poussin's Dropbox: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Current-NETGEAR-and-Partners/Addons-available-For-R6/td-p/842756

I had a similar setup with a Duo V1 that started to drop off the network, so i purchased a RN204 and a new 2 TB Red disk and used the 2 TB Red from the Duo (Originally i had 2 1 TB Seagate drives but after disk failure on disk 1 i swapped it out for a WD Red).

I also have a Logitech Squeezebox Duet and i works just the same on my RN204. Actually my Yamah AVR (Which is connected to my LAN) can also access the Logitech Media Server directly and play back my music collection.

Either way it works very well.

I used to have a Duo V1 with 1 x 1 TB Seagate Barracuda and 1 x 2 TB WD Red (Originally i had 2 Barracudas but swapped one after rising error count) running the Logitech Media Server. The Duo started to drop off my network so i purchased a RN204 to replace it.

I also have a Logitech Sqeezebox Duet to stream my music collection to my soundsystem, and it works just as good on my RN204. I just installed the Logitech App on the NAS.

I have a Yamaha AVR that can connect directly to the Logitech server and stream without using the Duet hardware.

So I'm running the Logitech Media Server (hereafter LMS) 1.0.8 add-on from super-poussin (hereafter s-p) using the most up-to-date nightly build of LMS (7.9.0 - 1455631301). It works beautifully.

I have to say, getting LMS set up in ReadyNAS OS 6.x wasn't straightforward. The add-on initially encountered installation errors. And then installing updated versions of the LMS (I think s-p's add-on comes with 7.7) didn't go especially smoothly. If I recall, I had to manually replace existing LMS files from the s-p install with the ones I extracted from the 7.9 nightly tarball. But once it was up and running (with plugins, no less), I set it up so that it downloads nightly updates automatically and then I can install them with a simple terminal command, which is actually provided as part of the update instructions – else I never would have figured it out.

s-p's LMS add-on comes in two flavors: 1.0.6 and 1.0.8. I didn't have much luck with 1.0.6, so I tried 1.0.8. I think it was necessary to install 1.0.6 first, then install 1.0.8 over it.

Sorry my memory of the process is so spotty. So much of it was trial and error—and for a time I was running UE Media Server—that oftentimes it was the equivalent of throwing things at the wall to see what stuck. But short answer to your question: Yes, you can run LMS on newer ReadyNAS machines, and it will work very well with devices in the Squeezebox line.
