I have a better idea.
You should get an MP3 player for the HP9k and draw the MP3 itself through
the network. That way, the MP3 player will know what the appropriate
format is for the HP9k's audio hardware, and you will cut your bandwidth
required down by a great deal.
I do this on my home network like this:
Hermes (Linux box) has a 3GB collection of MP3's served out via http.
George (Windows NT box) uses WinAMP to play them.
Works very well.
