New Router, New Streamer, New Questions

I have a Cambridge CXN100, my router died, my new ASUS comes with 2 USB ports. I have my external 3.0 USB HD plugged into the 3.0 port. It takes forever to load and be able to view my albums to make my selection in Streammagic . I know I have a large library (7.8TB) of music so maybe that's the issue. But my question is has anyone used the ASUS Media Server Setting? 

Thanks for your time and replies!

I have tried using the USB input but my collection is too large and since steammagic only runs on my tablet or phone, it times out after 30 miutes then I have to toally reload the library...very frustrating and time consuming' I need to be listening to music! I see my shelf life approaching! LOL

Thank you all so much for you council and advice. I have decided to  try Roon and so far, I am very impressed. It ate up that huge library and was ready to go in about 2 hours. It was so easy to set up I was amazed. I had heard about Roon and how much it can do, I incorrectly thought I had to be really networking savvy. Nope, Roon did it all for me.

As for this huge library, I appreciate the advice regarding backing it up! I do! I actually have 2 physical back ups stored at 2 different locations.

Thanks for your help!

Let's go listen to music!
