Hey guys (and girls),
I'm looking to set up an old old computer (166Mhz, 64MB ram, 6GB hdd etc) as an MP3 machine. The catch is, I won't have a monitor for it (just speakers), although I will have a keyboard which I wanna use to skip to the next track etc; no mouse either.
I would like to be able to load new songs onto it via the network, and literally play them through the speakers which will soon be hooked up to it (i.e., no servers cause I don't wanna stream).
So basically, I need a nice little OS/app (likely to be Linux?) that'll boot straight into the MP3 program/database (and play them!), and automatically scan for new files as I add them. I guess remote-access would be a requirement too.
Anyone have any idea as to how I should go about this?
