Here's my situation...

I have about 2000 CDs extracted to .flac files.  Each CD is one large
.flac with a .cue sheet for the artist/song info.  The .flac file is
untagged.  Each album is in its own subdirectory.  This works great
when I play it with Foobar 2000.

Can Squeezebox play the file using the .cue sheet and still have direct
access to individual songs?  In other words, can I skip to a different
song with the remote?

>From what I've read so far, it looks like Squeezebox can play .flac
files natively without transcoding.  Right?

All this music is stored on 4 250G external hard drives. 
Unfortunately, I don't have enough outlets or firewire ports on my
computer, so I can have only 1 of these drives plugged in at a time. 
(Yeah, it's a pain.  I'm looking forward to the first 1 TB drives).

Will this cause problems with the Slimserver software?

That's the bulk of my music collection but I have a few other sources. 
I have paid subscriptions to Hearts of Space and Echoes.  These are
streaming music services.  Hearts of Space uses Windows Media, Echoes
uses Real Audio.  I have to sign in with a userid and password.  Will I
be able to stream these to the Squeezebox?

I also have XM Radio.  They have online streaming as well, but I don't
know what the format is.

I don't use iPod/iTunes so that isn't an issue.

My platform is Windows XP Pro and I'm considering the wireless version
of Squeezebox, but in my current apartment I could probably run an
ethernet cable directly to my stereo.  I have a D-Link wireless
router.

I'd appreciate any answers.

Thanks!
