[dba-Tech] netbook as a home music server

Our patchwork home entertainment system has a DVD player/recorder that 
we watch NetFlix DVDs on, and occasionally record satellite TV video 
with. It's fine for that, but it doubles as the system's CD player, and 
with that there are two problems: CD playback isn't terrific, and who 
wants to fiddle with single CDs any more?

Why not just rip CDs to FLACs onto a music server, and point & click 
when we want to hear 'em? Seems to me a wee $300 NetBook with a .25TB 
drive and HDMI could hold about a thousand CDs in lossless FLAC form and 
deliver the material digitally straight to the HDMI input in our 
receiver with better quality than most CD players costing three times 
that much. Anybody have an idea what might be wrong with this setup?
