WD Live reads all the tags and even shows thumbnails. i don't know if the thumbs are in the tags or if the WD downloads itself. When I said it was buggy, it occasionally freezes but usually when trying to stream over the network. Sometimes it will just lose connectivity for no reason. That's why I just use USB or an external HDD. It's just a lot easier and hassle-free than dealing with streaming and network issues. WD Live is cheap too. Like $70 or 80 when I bought it.
