I don't wish to rain on your parade, but I really, really, really, really, wouldn't persue this method, the SBT is too underpowered to act as a server and player. It may work ok for a while, but it will crash, often, and you'll spend more and more time sitting there musicless, while the SBT does yet another complete rescan of your HDD. Invest in a Raspberry Pi or other similar small computer and install Max2Play & Logitech Media Server (LMS) on that.
