Creating a dedicated Music Server

[Guest]

Looking for instructions or information on creating a dedicated (stand-alone)
music server. I have an old HP computer that I want to hook up to my home
network and use as a dedicated music server. It will be running XP Home
Version. I have a Roku on my home network and want it to be served music
using media connect from the stand alone server. This will (hopefully) free
my home computer from the task and allow me to off load about 30GB of music
to the stand alone server as well.

Any info is most appreciated!
Thanks...
