The BoxGods gang has a pretty detailed write-up on how to create your own home media server. I've got to tell ya that I used that Yahoo workaround that I posted on Monday & got ~120 music videos that're now happily residing on my HTPC.

"All the major PC builders like Dell and Gateway are pushing into the HTPC arena in a big way.  Microsoft is eying that market also with its HTPC version of XP, MCE 2005.  Those facts alone are a strong indicator of the direction the industry is heading in."
