This brings an interesting question: The touch is a server and a
player.

It would seem there would be two data sets: 1 on the touch and 1 on the
vortexbox.

It should be necessary to "change" servers (libraries/remote libraries)
to access each separate server.

Is this true or can the touch merge with another server and be seamless
(as we would hope?) 

I think a "list" of music locations would be the only solution. I'm
pretty sure this isn't explicit in iTunes but I really don't see a lot
of complexity in having a <finite> list of music locations coupled with
an "include other servers" option. (YES, I know they could be
duplicating songs and etc. but read on.)

After a scan, each location would be included. If a
<portable/detachable> device is not available at playback, a simple,
single "select" parameter in the UI would be required. Other than that,
if the media is not available a message could either suggest a restart
or give dialog that the "tune ain't there just now..."
