[ale] mp3 player parts code

[F. Grant Robertson]

Just a thought, and you may be more interested in the path than the product but, Best Buy has a great little portable CD/Mp3 player for 29 bucks right now.  I'd always wanted to build a player for the car but, at 30 bucks there is no way I could get near the functionality in this thing. If your looking on the site, it's silver with blue trim and is made by some off brand.. I personally know of one other besides my own and they both function flawlessly. I've been travelling for a week and I've only got 8 CD's with me.. I haven't heard a single song twice. <grin>

hey i may have asked this before and if i did i apologize :-p its a
project i once researched but never started. i want to see if i can find a
easy to build almost "kit" for a linux mp3-ogg-other player :) i just
wanted to make a hard disk storage unit that ran linux basically,
something with the power of a pda? enough to play mp3's nicely and be
storage if needed ;) if googled a little and found a few things but
wonderd if anyone had done something and had a recommendation? flash rom
would be good so i could update as things change :) i think i might have
an old cd-mp3 player for scrap (lcd keys etc.) im hopeing for a solution
that granted wont be as small as most pda's today or the ipod but will be
very similar and can fit in a moderately sized pants pocket ;) ill be
looking at /. soon to. just wonderd if anyones tried this :)
