I'm guessing that the response of the ui with a remote database will be
too slow for most people to tolerate, but there was something in post
#15 that made me think. What if the user pointed TinySBS to a music
library on an SD card or USB stick inserted in the Touch, and that music
library directory had a symlink to the network drive attached to the
router, which is manually mounted as a filesystem on the Touch as you
describe? Scanning would still be slow but at least the database
wouldn't have to traverse the network. Or do symlinks to remote mounts
not work? (I don't think I've ever tried)
