Best way to access Music on RAID from Android Phone

[BJB]

I have music on my RN104 that I would like to stream to a bluetooth receiver that I then can play on my reciever or elsewhere in the house. Not a bluetooth speaker, it is a receiver with audio outs.  I have done searches and most talk about a "smart" A/V receiver, etc.  Mine is a great receiver but does not have ANY streaming or bluetooth capability.

So I am getting an add-on bluetooth receiver that I will hookup to my reciever.

Currently I plan to just play music on my android phone (which with memory cards is essentially most of the same library) which I can then pair via bluetooth to this device.

Is there a way to also "see" the music on the NAS on my android phone? I don't think I want to use DNLA or any of that as probably not necessary for my setup.  My NAS is essentially just a network share for video and backup.  Just wondering if there is an easy way to use an add-in so I can not only play from my phone memory card but perhaps from my NAS too which is on the same local network.  Of course then I'd need to be able to categorize the music etc. which is already done on my memory card.  Anyway, just checking if I am missing something simple here.

Thanks,

BJB

DLNA is actually a pretty good way, as is plex.

If you want to shift music from the NAS to the mobile device, Resilio sync might work for you.

You could google for a Android app that supports playback from a network (play music from network share site:play.google.com).  Here's one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.threecats.sambaplayer&hl=en  I haven't used it, so it's not a recommendation.
