all way.
I like all my music to be easy to search and there is
200gb of it.
so like you, i'm still waiting for the RightThingTM to come
along.
until that day, it's xmms for me.
sad but true.
I'm in the same boat (100GB+ of music, all ripped over the course of
several years from CDs I own.) I also listen to music more on my
Archos jukebox than any of my PCs. So, rather than use one style of
organization on the PCs (maintaining a separate database for each
one, or using MPD which means I have to use a different program to
play files from the network than local files) and another on the
Archos, I navigate my collection using Konqueror, play songs or
playlists with xmms (I'd rather a simple, native-UI player that
supports playlists and EQ but doesn't feature retarded teenage
boy "skins", but have yet to find one) and rsync those same songs and
playlists over to the Archos to play in the car.
Why can't you use mpd for network and local stuff?
For use with mpd I use to mount a network share at say ~/music/net,
create a link to the local music folder at ~/music/local and tell mpd
to look at ~/music/.
Works for me just fine.
