I ask this, as currently we have our Boom and SB set to mysqueezebox.com which also has all our presets on the boom. But when we switch to SBS, the presets are different etc. It's quite a hassle and would be so much nicer to be more comprehensive.

The whole idea of physically having to disconnect the hard drive and plug in another USB stick, then return to the kitchen or living room would drive my wife insane. And me to be honest. I guess we would still use mp3Tunes as the smaller library and the Hard Disk on the USB port as the complete library. I have always hoped that Slim Devices allowed for multiple libraries. This would be not only useful for our situation, but also the simple fact that there are usually more than one person living in a house, and each person may only want to look through their collection of music.

Basically, we have a lot of gadgets connected in our house and it is getting quite rediculous. Not only do I spend far too much time, constantly fixing this, or reconfiguring that, there is also the endless amount of things plugged into wall sockets and draining power. I am trying to consolidate a lot of our stuff. The last thing I want really is another computer in the house constantly on. Even if it small and in another room and hidden, if I can get buy with the Touch to do this for me, then all the better. If it was up to my wife, we would have all electronics thrown out in the next rubbish collection ;O) So, it's always better for the relationship to keep these devices to a minimum.

Year ;O) Lovely idea, but maybe a project way down the line. I have 18,000+ tracks and have spent hours upon hours making sure the Genre is correct, the dates are correct, finding Album covers etc. Because nothing seems to be standard, I seem to have to do this for mp3tunes, iTunes (so I can also use this on my iPhone) and mp3 Media Center (from jriver) as my wife prefers that interface when playing music on the PC and it's the best ripping tool I have found. And I havn't got anywhere near finished. I find I am spending way too much time sorting my music out and not enough time listening to it ;O) I wish CD's came with pre-ripped mp3's. Everyone rips them once they are bought... oh well...
