Want to make an mp3 thingy for my car

[Fondor]

Where can i get instructions on how to make an mp3 box for my car. Maximumlinux magazine published an article on this but I threw it away. Can ne1 help? Thanks in advance.

2600 Magazine (http://www.2600.com) also had an article about installing a computer in your car. I also started a similar post a while ago in the off topic forum. I'd give you a link but even after doing a good search I can't seem to find it. Anyways, there really shouldn't be too much to it.

i cant find anything on their website. they have no search feature.

Well, they don't have the article on their website, you have to buy the magazine ;). I might look through them tonight and see which issue its in.

you can find the parts on pricewatch as well, probably get the stuff a little cheaper...that is if you can figure out exactly which parts you need. its a little more expensive that i was hoping for, but its still a really cool idea.

Note: Ansivirus' post had a link to the website for Maximum Linux's Route 66 article which describes how to make the linux car mp3 players. www.anders.com (http://www.anders.com) is run by Anders Brownworth, a former member of the now dead Maximum PC magazine.

Here are two old topics and that link from maximum pc:

BTW, that issue for the article in 2600 is volume 17 number 3. You should be able to buy back orders off their website.

Does anyone know any good websites that sell old computers (probably used)? I don't want discount parts and stuff, I'm just looking for an old working computer that I can buy for like 10 bucks.

I did a little searching last night and apparently, this car computer thing is very popular. Here are some sites I found. They're packed with information such as what to buy, where to buy it, what to use, etc.
