Sorry I looked at the wiki and forums (but probably missed it) and can't figure out what exactly the MP2 server does.

Well, before you had MP on each PC running it's own database and shares and so on.

MP2 comes with that server running all database, shares and whatever could be centralized. The MP2 client is just a GUI, showing what the server says.
That way you can set up a server in your network running MP2-Server and TVServer on it and all clients will get all information about media from MP2-Server and as before tv from TVServer.

So does this render a SSD worthless while inside MP2? I went SSD for the sole purpose of having everything smoother while browsing my collection.

MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

So far, so good...
