You say that "it's just a matter of writing the right app" but also say that you don't have any real idea about programming. Consider the very popular iPeng app for iPhone's and iPod Touch: getting a _local_ SBS to stream music to it is still a work-in-progress, so I wouldn't underestimate the effort involved. What you're asking -- streaming over the internet, which you probably want to do securely -- is a step further than that. And let's just say that the iThing community for app development is a lot more active than the BB app community.
Is that >67gb library FLAC or a lossy codec? For playing through something like a BB lossless is overkill -- the audio hardware is more of a constraint than lossless vs lossy. Besides, you'd have to settle for lossy for remote streaming because of bandwidth. What a lot of people do, myself included, is keep a parallel MP3 library for portable use. There are various software tools to make creating and maintaining a parallel MP3 library easy. You could shrink a FLAC library of over 100gb down to reasonable-quality (192kbps or better) MP3s that would fit on a single 16gb SD card. If that 67gb is already lossy then that's another story. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see the app you're asking for. But I ain't holding my breath. -- aubuti Nothing high-end, but music anywhere I want it, and it's '100% wind powered' (http://www.cleancurrents.com/).
