Digital Audio Server


I need help. I want to build a digital audio server to store about 600 cd on. I have a couple of requirements.
What is the best platform (Mac or PC), processor, memory and hard drive size

What sound card?

Is there a program that automatically has all the songs, I don't want to type the stuff in

I don't want to lose sound quality what is the best setup?

I tried to use laptop with a M-Audio Sonica Theater USB card with my DAC. I find the sound is not comparable to Theata transport.

My long term solution is to use an external HD (200G) with laptop as an alternative audio source, but seems I need to reconsider it.
