Great. I've set it up to point at the directory on my fileserver, but now... it's deadly slow. Playback is okay, but the UI is at a total crawl, and my network monitor is showing me it's receiving about 2M/s just sitting there doing nothing.

You figure it's updating files or something? Should I let it churn for a while and see if things improve?

This is very similar to the behavior I saw iTunes for Windows exhibit when configured in this same way pointed at this same network directory (heh... seems I had the answer to my original question all along...).

EDIT: Evidently it's "Determining Gapless Playback Information". We'll see how it does when it's finished with that.

FURTHER EDIT: Yep! Once that gapless determining is done, it's slick as anything. Thanks, guys!
