One of the advantages we have with our old school AV distribution system (four sources) is the WDTV “server” does all the heavy lifting, it’s just limited capacity, and I had downsized our media to fit more. I’d like to re-rip everything to higher quality on and put it on a NAS then move files on and off the WDTV as needed to watch on all the TVs. I’ve been using Archos to stream from the WDTV to my tablet.
I have to do the same with all my CDs. Long ago I had ripped them at high quality but downsized them when space became an issue. Now I want to rerip them at full quality and place all our music libraries in one location.
