Question on Transition from Twonky

[Budgie]

Hi, my first post here so hello to all and thanks to Simon for addressing the needs of classical music fans. I read with interest the threads on tagging and will share some of my experiences to date using Twonky in due course. But first I must obtain first hand experience of MinimServer.

I am planning the transition from QPKG Twonky (6.0.39) running on Qnap TS559 Pro II to MinimServer but suspect there will be quite a few problems until I get my tagging consistent. We have a medium sized collection (about 20,000 files,) split approximately 50/50 between classical and pop music with most of the classical being opera.

After several false starts, my wife has only just begun to accept and get used to accessing our music collection using Songbook on her phone, (preferring it to Chorus or Kinsky) and if I change the existing setup now and it fails, all my work to date putting collection onto server will be worthless as she will insist on reverting to playing from CDs.

To avoid the above disaster is there any reason why I should not set up and run Twonky my original NAS a Qnap TS 209 Pro II, which holds the backup music data set, while I experiment with MinimServer on the other, or vice versa? Are there any Gotchas having two media servers on the same subnet? Grateful for any thoughts before I take the plunge.
