That looks pretty slick.  Do you think there is any advantage to using
DAAP/Tangerine instead of NFS with Banshee?  I've never used either,
but it seems like Tangerine is probably easier to set up, but NFS is
more flexible.  Is that what it comes down to?

Is the Tangerine experience any different from the NFS experience from
within Bashee?  I'm wondering if there is any special
functionality/integration between Banshee and Tangerine that may not
exist with NFS.
