The DIY Wireless Music Player

Nathan True has hacked together a wireless music player using a Netgear WGT634U wireless router. It might be hard to locate the Netgear router since it has been discontinued, but still a nice hack.

The Mission

When I began this project, I knew I could not settle for anything less than:

  • A small, low-power networked music player, which
  • Runs Linux, and
  • Can connect either wirelessly or wiredly, that
  • Supports MP3, OGG, and FLAC at a minimum, and
  • Accepts commands remotely from a PC or PDA, in addition to
  • Displaying song info such as Artist/Title on a display local to the device.
