The server isn't a windows service

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to install the server on a typical server system (no user logged in 
normally)
2. The server launch as a standard application
3. Ther server dies when the current logged-in user logoff or when the 
server is automatically restarted (for updates or whatever)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The server should still serve music files while no user are logged in but 
instead it doesn't.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Server 3.3.1 on Windows 2003 server

This would require us to write the server as a windows service and write a 
remote 
management console to administer it.
This would be ideal, but also requires alot of effort to do.

While I agree it would be a lot of effort, it does seem necessary for a server. 
 The stand alone server is essentially worthless without running as a service.  
This should be one of two priorities (the other being the Android client 
starting playback with an initial buffer).

I know this issue is old but until we can do the necessary changes, this might 
help
