A friend of mine developed this product basically.  He took a very low
power fanless PC with a good cdrom drive, added a front panel LCD and
some buttons.

The box would rip the files and play them back when you pressed the
play button.  It would cache the ripped files so that if you put the
same CD back in it would just read the TOC and play back the cached
files.  I'm not sure how he handled CD TOC dupes.

He never got around to getting someone to turn it into a real product. 
I should find out if he still has the perl code around that did most of
the control.
