My $.02... I have my SlimServer on a dedicated WinXP workstaion with an external 640GB FireWire800 RAID-5 array attached to the PC in my back room. In the living room I also have a M$ Media Center edition with a dedicated 500GB LaCie FireWire800 HD for a duplicate music library. In having a very very very large library (>67,000) that has been painstakenly tagged to accommodate both SlimServer & Windows Media Player to my liking, there are times when retagging and/or tweaking is necessary. As I only like to do this once and forget about it, I have incorporated a free M$ PowerToy applet named SyncToy. It doesn't matter which library I amend, add-to or delete from. If I make a change on one, it can update the other as well. It also ensures that files don't get totally deleted. I manually run SyncToy, but you can have this as an automated process. I only run it when I have changed anything in either of my libraries. It's free, it works on attached drives on seperate PCs, it has a GUI and hasn't messed-up anything in my libraries.
