Evening Fellas,
Am looking to build an MP3 player based on
Gnu-/linux. This would be based essentially on one of
the embedded processor architectures either the MIPS
or the x86.
The whole issue is as follows, i have a 25x25rms
amplifier at my residence and would like to have an
mp3 player with an LCD-Remote Control connected to it.
The building of the mp3 player is the easiest part.
The tough part is finding hardware that would be the
right fit.
What are the boards i should be looking at?. Any
ideas or url's that i could RTFM???.
Thanks and take care.
Trevor

Not sure if it will meet your requirements, but, you
can check out LART, worth 230 UK pounds:

Thanks for the link dear. Have looked at lart earlier
but these are really expensive to obtain here in india
and we might just find something better and more
economic.
Thanks again and take care.

If you can manage without a remote, how about a 512MB
or 1 GB pen drive with mp3 headphone output? Connect
that to your 25x25 amp. Is it one of those Phillips
amp circuits? No need for any comp. to be on.
1 minute mp3 = 1 MB memory.
1 GB = 1000 Minutes of songs.
Regards,
Rony.

There is a huge limitation with these Pen Drives.
The storage costs a bomb and you can never upgrade the
storage since its flash based. Instead if we built our
own little juke box with an IDE internal drive it
would be a storehouse for numbers of all kinds.
Also once we have standardised an embedded
architecture/platform for the mp3 player i can go
about designing the specs of the application.
The player in mind will have the following features:
Will be based in a compact box that can sit atop my
Amplifier.
The underlying board can either be based on an
x86/MIPS based core
It should have an interface to allow for an LCP o/p
that will enable the user to scroll through the
numbers being played.
It should haev an interface allowing the user to
remotely scroll/play the numbers he/she desires.
Last but not the least i would prefer any x86/ MIPS
based board that allows for quick booting times. No
fancy features really.
This is my initial list of what i percieve in my home
mp3 player. We need to start by looking at the base
boards in the first place. Sherlock is a guru on this
one....lets see if he has any aces up his sleeve on
this one...:D.
