Hi I am looking for a simple music server to hold about 50Gb of music to serve the house. I have been using LMS on my NAS but now thinking of a dedicated Mini PC and windows 7. Want something reliable and simple to set up that doesnt require much ongoing work? Any advice

OpenMediaVault, installedl as the NAS's operating system, maybe worth a shot before changing your current hardware to a win 7 box.

I use XBMC, it scrapes the library and pulls down artwork (as long as it's correctly tagged)
