Perhaps they didn't like the way that one ended...

Thinking about this - all that's really missing is some small device 
that functions as a USB host, can connect to the network and present a 
mounted USB volume to computers on that LAN.

Such a thing could be standalone, or built into an SBx.  Those USB male 
to WiFi dongles contain 2/3rds of what would be needed.  And the current 
SB has the networking bits and a processor.

Software wise, there would need to be something that recognized when a 
new share was available on the LAN and make it available for music 
folder browsing.  The device could send a little broadcast, or call 
something in the SS CLI.

Yeah, that would take some doing and require new hardware.

But it would be a cool feature.
