[newbie] Need mp3 info

[Dave Lindsay]

Hi all.

I am thinking of taking an old computer and putting it in the trunk of my car,
with the cdrom and a numeric laptop keypad in the stereo slots.

Does anyone know what kind of a computer would be bare minumum to play mp3s?
This computer would be doing nothing but playing music, so should a 486/66 or
100 cut it?

Also does anyone know of a way I can remap the keyboard so the numeric pad can
perform operations. If I can't, I'll use a remote control with LIRC.

Thanks,
Dave Lindsay
