Whilst idly messing today I discovered that you can hold the music library
(s) on the server drive.

on the client set the library to read a library on the server. When the
server libraries are updated the client sees the update.

Downside is clients can edit library, (maybe thats cause I've got a very
open network, lots of sharing, no passwords, hey theres only me using it at
present)

Maybe when I deploy the file server thats on the bench I can prevent
clients
access to files.
