Yes, Nige's front room is beginning to look like some torture chamber for extracting top secrets from some poor spook. I can hear Nige now saying "Is it safe yet" as he applies the 70Amp clamps. I don't want to even follow this thought to it's conclusion - you are all filling in the details already in your heads :)

I'll be offline for a week or so, so I'll leave experimenting aside, Don't want to be getting my head all stirred up when I can't get to the computer.
Without having seen MQN, it does sound hair shirt, that is the interface, or lack of one. People go for iTunes, leaving aside the commercial aspect, for example, because of the slick interface and the very effecient file organisation and tagging capabilities.
JRiver is more flexible than iTunes, and is ultimately more powerful, but takes a while to understand. OTOH, I don't use it's video capabilities, not being much of a film and/or TV person. That said, I do watch 1h of time shifted TV every night.
