Nokia Has A Present For Me?

Until I started writing this I couldn't remember why I even bought an n800. Back in November '07 I was reading in some A/V forum how people were using a small wireless device to control a computer jukebox server. This was something I could certainly use, but I didn't have a clue what they were talking about. I was optimistic because of the information's source, but like most skeptics my motto is "If something is too good to be true. It is." Yet sure enough, here it was, a somewhat-open GNU/Linux based hand-held for about $225. A no-brainer if there ever was one.

From the start, this "internet tablet" was delivering nicely, and it quickly reshaped some of my routine. But where was my music control program? I wasn't concerned about finding a client solution for the jukebox server, but I needed something better than my A/V receiver's inadequate web interface. It was obvious that this next piece was gonna be on me...
