I'm really taken with the idea of the Chumby and like the idea of the iPod compatibility, but I have my music library on a NAS which is shared over the network via SMB. Is there a way yet that the Chumby could connect to this and stream the Music across the network? Or is that kind of network connectivity not possible?
Yeah, I was kinda looking for a way to use it to control iTUNES remotely

In iTunes 7, Apple introduced an authentication mechanism in the DAAP protocol that prevents non-Apple clients from using network sharing.
To my knowledge, that mechanism has not yet been reverse engineered.
But can't you use the iTunes server built into iTunes and just stream to a client app?
No - iTunes 7 will not stream to non-Apple-licensed clients.
The best way to do it currently is to install SlimServer, which will parse through the iTunes database and will serve the music.
What about using Apple Airtunes as a source instead of a USB?
I explain how to mount an SMB share here:
I use Connect 360 from Nullriver to allow the XBOX 360 to see and stream all my media (audio, video, images) that's on my Mac. I wonder if that would share it properly with the Chumby? At least to see and control it, even if streaming didn't work.
