I know how frustrating this is... Anyway, I run my SB-Server on a Sheevaplug which uses only up to 5 Watts or so, and, still, I actually don't leave it running 24/7. I have everything connected to a AC socket with a switch. Everytime I listen to music I switch everything on. It takes about 1:20 mins until the server is ready and I can listen to music. But it took exactly the same time when I was still using the USB HDD on the Touch with tinySBS. However, the whole thing works much better. Yes, the Sheevaplug is not very powerful either, but by using it I more than double the system resources and I can run a fully-fledged SBS 7.5.1. When I finish listening to music I press the stop button and simply switch off my AC plug. My USB HDD (connected to the Sheevaplug) is formatted in EXT3 and doesn't mind simply being disconnected from power even when reading (and that's the only thing the SBS does anyway because the database is stored on the Sheevaplug). Maybe a similar setup would work for you.
