Oops! To late to edit, but I realise in my last post I screwed up the bit about class 6 and class 4. It's the non-pi-working TDK card that's class 6. The SanDisk and CnMemory are both class 4.
The music playing abilities of the Pi are pretty good, even though the sound driver is only an alpha. I've got it running through a playlist of .mp3s now as I type this - and it's getting that music from a Linux server running a Samba (Windows type cifs) file share.
I've also got the Pi set up now so I can drive the command line using SSH and see the graphics screen with VNC over the network. So I can run on another PC - a Windows one if I wish, and remotely control and monitor the Pi. When I need to use a 'big' computer for something, like making notes, I don't have to keep switching mice/keyboards/monitors to swap between that and the Pi.
