Thanks for all the valuable input. I've been out of the loop for awhile - foreclosure & stuff like that.
Back to Mac Music Server: As a result of your input, my plans are now:
Mac Mini - 2 USB/Firewire HDs - one being used to backup the other.
Using iTunes for music organizer.
I was planning on playing music from the library through the PCI card which up-samples to 96/24 - but this only runs on my dual PPC desktop with a PCI slot. Is there any way to use this PCI card with the Mac Mini - like a PCI chassis that plugs into the Mini?
What are some of the other options of playing 96/24 (and other sample rates [up-sampled]) using the Mini?
At 96 khz sample rates - I would expect the USB jitter to be a problem - what has been your experience when coming out the USB port?
What are the other options of coming off the Mini?
