Thread: Record Player MP3 Megastation (Summer Project)
so have old record player cabinet worn out( , quite expensive replace) needle, , turntable has pretty seen end of days, won't spin @ all. has has been serving as, pretty much, coffee table year. , have outdated hp pavillion xg834 , crt monitor bought yard sale has been, well, useless. don't use it. instead of sending them off landfill i'de make use of them. read here used record cabinet mp3 cabinet., i'd similar.
things able do:
1. play every audio codec known man
2. wifi connectivity, direct access music related sites , direct options transmission
3.phonograph underneath( have working record player, not 1 )
4. act home music server 1.5 terabyte external hd
5. owncloud...possibly
however, i'm running issues on things want out of system software wise:
1.very lightweight os, old computer have need speed
2."juke box" oriented gui. not want desktop in way. more digital juke box, options home music folders in forefront)
3. capacity touch-screen compatability. plan on adding touch screen overlay sometime in future.
4. access sites within browser takes whole screen, giving illusion website application, intstead of browser.
question this: distro , web browser these 4 prerequisites exist? or better suit purpose construct these features scratch in archlinux(or highly customizable distro ). if can guys give me resources?
i'm new @ programming have capacity , learn.
, if guys think project cool i'll keep posted on progress, begin work on tomorrow.
if werent linux being freakin awesome wouldn't attempt this.
i idea of reusing cabinet; however, think need check specification hp pavilion xg834.
don't think give storage (1.5 tb) or performance desire. hp pavilion xg834 can have maximum of 512mb of memory; which, limits gui options can use on it. seems have ide/ata disk controller may not support more 137gb (from brief browse on internet).
if going spend time refurbish cabinet, wouldn't put 6 10 year old computer it may not survive long.
after spending days modifying cabinet, applying new varnish, feeling accomplishment, wouldn't happy if old computer decided die on me.
