I'm being greedy, I'd like the best of both worlds. The BDP-1 as a stand alone unit as intended, but also a way that I could include it with my Squeezebox system that's spread throughout the house.
It then crossed my mind that, as all of the music files were attached to the BDP-1 maybe the player could act as a source for all of the other units, in the same way as a Squeezebox Touch does when you plug a USB drive into it....
As far as I'm aware, the software for the Touch is written in Linux and is open source. OK, it would need to be tweaked to remove the screen requirements etc but I'm sure the processor in the BDP-1 is more than capable of handling the interface. With the BDP-1 booting from a flash card, maybe the first option on boot up would be to select the operating mode - ie stand alone or as the squeeze server...
Just a thought...
