No problem on the comments regarding a NAS. It will be useful for others, if not directly for me. I need to get some of the Wiim gear in my hands and then try a few options; mimimserver and LMS, and see how I feel about the different interfaces. Thanks for all the discussion and feel free to...

That's great (and I figured it wasn't too difficult to do this!). I'll get a few pieces of Wiim gear and try it out in the house with both server approaches (minimserver and LMS and see what seems to feel best. If that all works, I'll get all the Sonos out of the house, and I won't be too sad...
