The SB has a moderately large buffer in it to prevent gaps in playback when the network gets busy, etc. What if that buffer were increaded by adding a 2GB USB thumbdrive? The SB would simply grab the entire playlist as fast as the server can squirt it, then the server could be shut down. If your network runs at 20 Mbps, 4 GB would transfer in about 30 minutes.
The only functionality added in the SB would be to recognize the thumbdrive and use it as the buffer. Maybe a thumbdrive can't be accessed where read and write take place almost simultaneously...
