Band width is not a problem, since I have my Squeezebox wired into the
network.  I would prefer to listen to my music in a loss-less format
which is why I am using flac, but I also need mp3 versions of
everything to use in itunes and sync to my ipod.  Hence 2 copies of
everything, except for the things that I bought on itunes.

It sounds like either using the Multi Library plugin or Virtual Machine
are my best bet for now.  I am really surprised by how little support
there is for multiple libraries, not just for the Squeezebox but for
itunes and digital media players in general.  It seems like such a
basic feature.  I read somewhere that this feature may come in
Squeezebox Server version 8.
