Yes. I was wrong about the scsi. > >I am struggling with whether to invest energy in this.

Actually, the idea of a dedicated MP3 jukebox/player sounds even better. I could hook up a big scsi disk and (I suppose) some speakers. Only problem is that iTunes needs an OS that the quadra won't run. Am I wrong? And if it is not iTunes with Applescript is it worth it? What benefit is there to hanging the disk on a server rather than on the machine that actually plays the tunes? That Applefritters site is pretty interesting. Thanks.
