As for the storage, I recommend something like AFS, that's distributed and network-transparent. AFS/Kerberos has a tendency to take over the network for use as an authentication protocol, but it's both possible to use AFS/Krb in a hetereogenous environment and a good idea to switch to Krb5 :).
OpenAFS is quite a good product, I am finding. A few general notes: Isn't cdparanoia more "correct" at audio extraction? And can't you emulate the 'pregap'-etc. effect with a .cue (or similar) plus the various .flac files? -- Asheesh. -- Q: What's the difference between Bell Labs and the Boy Scouts of America? A: The Boy Scouts have adult supervision.
