With storage groups in MythVideo and recordings, you can define storage 
on multiple backends, and MythTV will seamlessly mix them together and 
stream them to any frontend.  MythMusic has not yet been migrated over 
to using them, and still relies on local storage.  You will have to 
mount each share in the same place on each frontend.

If you have a Linux box running as an always-on backend, why not take 
advantage of it?  Move all your music to one central location, and share 
it out to your PCs from there.  Seems like the most logical setup to me 
whether using MythTV or any other media center application.  Having 
content scattered all across your network just seems like a messy 
configuration.
