My point is > the paradigm of a 'music server' seems a bit odd.If you are playing music on > your PC then why have a Squeezebox? Why not just use iTunes? My point is that ripping/tagging and listening are generally in two different physical locations so there is no need for a program to service both requirements. Also you do not need to rescan when you add new files, you just Browse Music Folder and add them to your playlist, which adds them to the SlimServer database auitomatically. In this way you can listen to newly added music instantly. > I don't want slimserver / squeezebox to replace my CD player. Maybe > that's the issue here.

I assume that most people > do want it to replace their CD Player, I assume that most people who buy it want it to be their main (or even sole) source of audio (although I'm not too sure that Jukebox is the correct term).
