For those people with a Raspberry Pi in their linux systems in order to play music might like to have a look at this posting today - http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/4817
There's a comment on there which might satisfy Chris Green's desire for hifi with a Pi and that's the bit about hooking it up to USB DACs.
I'm already using a Behringer UFO202 USB DAC with my little Acer Revo system which runs mpd. So the quality is pretty reasonable. (The Acer Revo is also my local DNS server and does a couple of other things, I guess I could use a Pi which would use less power but the Revo is OK)
As regards selecting stuff to play via mpd I've not found an Android client that really makes it easy to find stuff but on a Linux box Gnome Music Player Client seems to work pretty well for me.
