This is why I built a PC for my parrents. It sits in their basement next to the wifi router on the cable modem. It's quiet, and low power (used old compaq biz desktop I salvaged) It runs linux so I can update it remotely for them, has a Xvnc server running grip that auto-rips the CD, tags it, and has a post-run script that activates a "look for new music" slimserver scan. Then it ejects the CD when the disc is ripped. There are optimizations and other things that I should do. It runs headless, so maybe a small LCD display to verify tag data, convert it to use musicbrainz with a freedb as a backup tag database. Switch it to use abcde, or sound juicer for better UI. Make a more integrated sound juicer VNC server. the list goes on. I thought about making it into a commercial setup, but I'm not really a biz guy. -- SuperQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39438 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
