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.

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.

1 minute mp3 = 1 MB memory. 1 GB = 1000 Minutes of songs.

Rony.
