LOL - it's nice being a noob because you see the other side :)

It might reassure you :) .
I had rather a nice vinyl setup once Martin. I can't say I miss it.
I reckon you should get sorted pretty quick. ;)
The touch is a great bit of kit but if you find you like file based audio, I dare say it wont be long before you've built a really good quality server. You should have the building skills and I really can't see a bit of scripting and a few code changes being beyond your knowledge.
Like all this stuff,it depends on how much effort one is prepared to put into it. :)
I now have a Spotify Premium account and am streaming hi-bitrate to the Touch (it did crash and reboot after I upgraded to Premium and changed the settings, but has now settled down).
It's amazing sitting down in front of the 'big rig' with the iPad on my lap and being able to call up almost anything on Spotify, like having John Peel's library in my hands. This will help me target my buying even more accurately and only order CDs I know I like.
