At least the question worth be asked. I did it in the past weeks with the same basic ideas (database constructing on another computer, etc.).
What erland says is quite true. Better user-friendlyness really matters now. And a lot of people don't mind having a computer switched on to play music... but this only partially right. The first question everybody's asking when they see my squeezebox is: "And you can play your music without your computer on? With an usb hard disk plugged in it?" They are very disappointed when I must admit there must be a computer on to use the squeezebox... and they don't even care about my "low consumption and totally silent EPIA PC", it's too late. They don't want to have their computer on to listen to music, if it's on, they have winamp. (it's a little basic approach but the idea is there). Would't a uPNP/MediaCenter compatibility for the Squeezebox be some sort of good solution? If I only have a NAS uPNP compatible (most of them are nowadays) NAS my SB can work basically with it. If I dedicate a computer or if my desktop computer is on, I get the full power of SS. Sounds a good mean solution. Would squeezebox hardware able to handle uPNP server streaming and control?
