Vortexbox is linux like Ubuntu, based on Fedora, it automates the
ripping/tagging process and auto updates squeezecenter, it probably
runs at about 75% accuracy for tagging so some manual work required but
I can live with that.

The idea is to run in headless as there is no GUI, I interact with it
through SSH/Samba, and a bit of understanding on linux is a plus. It
could be an option for you but depends on whether you are using your
MiniITX box for anything over and above, email, internet etc.
