First off, mad respect for running Twonky for a decade—that’s like keeping a Tamagotchi alive into adulthood. ??

And now eyeing a Pi + cloud storage setup for music distribution? I’ve tinkered with this exact combo, so let’s unpack your questions with a dash of reality (and caffeine-fueled humor).

You’re spot-on about the core issue: cloud storage behaves like a fussy librarian who only fetches files when you shout. OneDrive’s "on-demand" sync is the default on macOS/Windows, and it’s brutal for music distribution via MinimServer—like trying to DJ with a jukebox that only plays songs after a 10-minute "buffering" meditation.
