The top end is Mosaic - the audio quality is the best it can be, and the collections are complete including alternate takes. This probably isn't what you're looking for, they're very expensive. The other good compilation labels include JSP, Proper and Quadromania. The Proper boxes are generally quit...

Jriver media center can be installed and run off an external hard drive (there's a special installation mode that let's you do this), however it's a Windows-only product. I'm not aware of any product for mac where this is a feature.

The Swinger hacks any song to... swing
I'd imagine others have found this by now. Certainly it's only swing with a little "s" and it doesn't work all the time - definitely interesting for those who are interested in "novelty" swing.

The equivalent Australian organisation is APRA (who deal with licensing fees for the copyright in the lyrics and the score - there is another organisation, the PPCA, that performs an equivalent function for the copyright in the recordings).
