Yes, but since these are just files I don't see why an unexport/reexport 
is required.  The clients will see any file changes just like any other 
file changes shared over NFS.

Also, I don't see a specific need to create an NFS share for every 
client.  Just share a top level directory once and then set the "music" 
directory of each client to an appropriate subdirectory inside the NFS 
share -- analogous to home directories.
