this is funny cause this is what i am going through right now. i will tell you what i did, see if it helps

i have a tiny 10gig hd on my computer, and i have about 170 cds. so, i got a 80 gig firewire drive and a 15 gig ipod. mind that you can do this with any player you want to use, but you will see where the mac comes in handy here. My room mates and i wanted to have a place to put our music because we all have small hard drives (lol did anyone just see the enuendo there?) so i got the HD and what we will be able to do is put all the music on the HD and using Rendezvous we will all be able to listen to it because we have a little LAN action going on. I use the 15 gig ipod for just my music, and stuff that is thiers that i like and i hook it up to our stereo in the living room using a monster ipod cable. i have about 1700 songs right now and they have quite a bit themselves so it will be interesting to see how it works in the long run, but so far so good.

My roommate has a Nomad and it works great so you certainly dont need an iPod, but i have to admit, the firewire is hot! Good luck however you end up solving your pob.
