Ok, this is my idea for a portable MP3 player.
I’m taking an old laptop with a Pentium 133 processor and like 32 megs of RAM, a sound card with audio in and out jacks, and a 4 GB hard drive. I’m going to use the minimal install of Linux Mandrake 8.1 that I can and find a program that will build a play list and play MP3’s. The audio in and out wires will be so that I can plug the laptop into a bigger sound system.
Can anyone tell me any problems they see that I might have with this setup? Also I need to know how to make Linux automatically load up the play list editor when it boots up. If possible I would like it not to load a window manager such as KDE but go directly into the play list editor but still have a GUI. Is that possible?
I appreciate any help someone can give me on this.
