The DIY Wireless Music Player
Thursday, February 16th, 2006Nathan 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.
