MP3 tidbits. (fwd)





here is the story of a british hacker (not computer break-in type
cracker, I mean a REAL hacker :-) who wanted an MP3 jukebox for his car.
instead of doing the obvious and hook up a laptop and put it on the
passenger seat, he built his own unit using an embeded systems' ultra tiny
pentium mommyboard, running linux, connected to a special panel under his
radio. his special software digs the ID3 tags and plays him the songs
according to year, singer or other parameters...

oh yeah, when he wants to add songs to the collection, he just mounts his
car through NFS and copies new songs... the portable MP3 box in his car
has a 10BaseT hookup too ofcourse...
