Resolved: HD1k issues: aquarium+mp3

Despite warnings to limit the number of network shares, the critical factor 
causing the problem in this case turned out to be server-side physical disk 
read capabilities.  By moving the Aquarium art pack to a different disk on 
the server, all problems were eliminated.  Thanks for your assistance thus 
far.  I look forward to an integrated iTunes support in the HD1k, especially 
if it is native to the GUI.  Sort by ID3 tag attributes would be a nice 
feature.
