For a music manager, give Amarok a try. It
sorts music by ID3 tags and auto downloads extra content (eg. Pics, band info,
lyrics). I was strictly XMMS until I found this. It has a beautiful UI and has
unparalleled features. As for the front-end; I think it will be
easiest for you to just build a combination frontend/backend. With computer
prices what they are today, it is not expensive to throw together a machine
that can handle these tasks with extra space to do whatever. Also, you wont
have to worry about networking or powering two machines. Some might go the VIA Epia route but that
has some headaches and speed restrictions. Look into Shuttle XPC barebones.
They aren’t the cheapest out there, but they have solid reviews. I would
recommend getting a M-Audio Revolution 7.1 if you are an audiophile but onboard
will suffice if its not so picky. -Grant On 12/13/05, Mythtv

build just a front-end system. Here are my Goals - Small Quiet system - DVD / Music library (Main Goal) I'm tired of having my kid's
man handle my DVD's and CD's - Encode shows for my Pocket PC when I travel - Use my Direct Tivo as my backend encoder (optional) - DVD Burner to save shows - Replace my old stereo system with a Myth system My Direct TV Tivo sound plays
through my old Dolby Pro-Logic 5.1 via a RCA connection. No sound comes out of
my TV - I'd also like to use my Direct TV Tivo remote It has a switch for Satellite
receiver or TV Thanks in advance -Matt
