When building a music server you don't really care if new software will run on it. Indeed, you really don't want anything on it other than the necessary server/playback software. IMO anyway.
Here's some good software for you: http://vortexbox.org/downloads
I Don't mean to turn this into Computer Thread. Just Pointing out that if you want to buy an older mac and keep the ease of use by using the apple OSX. Just making sure no one hits the wall of Apple wont update or support it so no one else will either. If Newer Media Players will not work, Newer Browsers will not work and Even Streaming service will not then why bother. If I had paid for this It would have been a waste of money. Sure I could Install Linux on it, You can Install linux on practically any x86 Machine but that defeats the whole Ron Popeil Set it and Forget it appeal of the mac that some may be looking for.
