Since all my ripping machines are windows, I've been using NTFS and ntfs-3g on my slimserver. As far as I can tell the linux read/right support for NTFS using ntfs-3g is flawless. I've had no problems and I've got >700gigs of flacs stored this way. I initially populate my SATA media drive by placing it in a USB shell, hooking it up to the windows machine, formatting it as NTFS and copying all my music. Once the drive is in the linux server, I add new music via a samba share. It's worked very well so far.
You might want to avoid ext3 as a file system for the drive holding you music.
