Problem is that the end user will need a way to rip his CD's to the thing. I'd use a small headless Linux server preferable booting from CD that just stores its configuration and music on the hard disk. For ripping you could: - Use an external USB disk that's plugged into a PC whenever the library needs maintenance. - Use an attached CD drive and setup some automatic ripping (needs Internet for cddb access) - Connect to the customer's LAN and allow him to rip to a network share. I guess you can't do much without connecting to the Internet. I think using two separate LAN interfaces, one to connect to the SB's and one to connect to the Internet could be a good thing. That way you won't run into too many networking issues. Use non-public network numbers on the SB-LAN to a void IP conclicts (yeah, that sounds strange, but if you use 192.168.*.* or 10.*.*.* you're sure to run into problems a lot. If you use 1.1.1.* you'll be alright). The Internet interface use DHCP to configure and gives access to a (SMB) disk share and the slimserver web interface. Just some thoughts...
