Im not exactly sure that I can do this. Hell, I know I can’t. But I had this weird idea. What if you built an open source mp3 player? Both the schematics and the firmware could be open source. I think it would be pretty cool. Well, thats my 2p worth.
do you mean something like this click here
Thats kind of what I was talking about. I meant an mp3 player like the ones Rio makes. The schematics on how to build it, and the firmware could be open source.
ah, a hardware based mp3 player right? like the iPod from Apple?
Exactly. Im just saying it would be cool for people to build there own mp3 players. I just don’t exactly know how to go about doing it.
That’s actually kinda technical…especially designing your own…unless you’re an electronics engineer. If there’s a schematic out there, then that would be more plausible—although you’d have to be a bit skilled with the soldering iron.
I’ve never though of it, but I’ll try to look out for it.
I did once see a site where someone had built there own, but it look like a brick! lol he has used one of his old HD, it would be heavy to carry around though! I dont see how this could be useful unless you use it to build a mp3 player for home, with a remote control, LCD display etc now that would be cool!
heres a link to some projects that people have done on mp3 hardware players…
Very Cool :D! Thanks sniper.
ahhh, I was looking for this link
