Neat project although it will require a bit of work on your part. A quick prototype would be something along these lines: - install Ubuntu - create an /etc/init.d/musicplayer script to point to the music folder and start playing the songs Now trim off the fat by uninstalling apps you no longer need. Once you've trimmed it down to a minimum, generate a list of the apps you need, and build it up given those minimum specs. Is there a command-line music player? That is, is there a command that allows you to do something like this: $ musicplayer /path/to/folder/with/music If you have more questions, feel free to ask. Regards, - Robert
