The MPST Digital Jukebox is a Linux based embedded CD/MP3/OGG ripper and player (and real-soon-now) burner made for a non-Linux user's home entertainment system. The box is mostly remote and LCD controlled and the GUI is ran through a VNC client (or a touch-screen) such that the user never sees the Linux Desktop or shell interface. The Jukebox is actually a Via C3 home built system designed to run silent and cool. It does not require cooling fans and makes very little hard disk noise.
The hardware design and code is all open source. The code was based heavily on DigitalDJ and Grip. I merged the two source bases, rewrote the UI and added LIRC and LCDProc support. I'd love to take it to the next step and start manufacturing, but too many others (HP, SonicBlue, etc) have beat me to the punch. Please take a look at it and tell me what you think. I'm also curious how many others have gone down the same path. There are also some interesting problems I'm still trying to find better solutions for. http:/www.mpsharp.com mp __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
