I don't think so. If you remove 'local library' from the picture, and all that entails (tagging, tagging, more tagging, fixing tags, etc) it gets pretty simple for 'net radio' type things. MySB has a very nice selection of radio and radiolike (slacker, etc) type. > > OOH -- can I remotely configure and fix her SBRadio? I guess with portforwards on the router, you could ssh in... But I don't think there is much you could fix that a reboot or smacking the router wouldn't fix.
