Just a plain old cheap linux box: a $200 Dell (with a drive I stole
from another machine).  2.4G celeron, but only 128M.

Of course nothing else runs on the box.

And, yes, I have album art (and am actually pretty anal about it,
resorting at time to just taking a picture of the cover myself).  
Album art is in cover.jpg and a scaled 150x150 thumb.jpg (a silly
script makes those so I always have a prescaled version).

The NAS drive probably adds a bunch of latency... all my files are
local.

Files are a mix of mp3 and flac, depending on how much I think quality
matters.  

If I undo a hack with MusicMagic that I am playing with, it takes about
an hour to do a full scan... but then, that's why I fiddled with
MusicMagic's importer... I am not sure it is entirely correct what I
did so I wont say that it is a fix.... but it seems to be: i havent
found anything I broke terribly.
