Depends what o/s you're using everywhere. I wasn't sure if your media  
player was actually a PC or some kind of standalone box.

Samba is fine when you're double-clicking in a GUI to connect - from  
Macs or Windows - and if I'm mounting manually at the command line I  
find its syntax less wieldy. I find NFS easier to use between Linux  
systems - intuition would indicate that it should give better  
performance than Samba, but I have heard this may not (always?) be the  
case.
