Thanks everyone who took time to vote. I'm quite surprised by the high proportion of M users who have a server of some sort already in their set-ups (or perhaps the real anti-music server brigade avoided the thread completely?).

Also quite surprising is the proportion of server users who have adopted it as their prime source for CD replay. Look out M!
