On the squeezebox, Rhapsody is available via squeezenetwork, so you
don't have to have the PC's on.  Though, in that case, you may have to
leave it connected to SN when you turn it off for usability.

My wife enjoys the SB and uses it all of the time - mainly to play
music for the kids.  She even knows how to shuffle!  She likes it
because is alleviates the clutter of CDs sitting around.  I love it
because I don't have to go to the basement to pick a musical selection
from my CD collection.

Other posters have good suggestions - modify the menu to simplify it
and put Rhapsody on top.

If fear of messing up the PCs or network by pressing the incorrect
buttons is an issue, reassure her as best you can that she can't do any
irrevocable damage to the unit or network.

Good luck!
