Hello!
I'm looking for a way to build small mp3 network player. It should be something like
- low price
- stereo output
- ethernet with tcp/ip
- rs232 (not necessarily)
- lpt (for LCD)
Of course, it should be fast enough to decode 320 kb/s mp3 files. System could be stored locally on flash or booted over network.
I would like to know what are you starting with ?
Do you have any microcontrollers available to you ?
Are you going to have to buy everything needed to build this project ?
Do you have the experience to build and code something like this ?
How much is your time worth ??

Yes, beside LCD. Ideally I would like to use PC/104 board, but it's too expensive.
Very little experience in electronics, but I have some in coding in asm and C/C++ on x86 and 8051.
I have plenty of time!
If You pay for it... ;>
Like what? Would 8051 + some hardware be enough?
It should display what is currently playing and volume, but it isn't necessary. In future, I would like to control it with PDA connected to the network with
802.11b.
But that spoil all the fun, wouldn't it? As you go out to shoot fish in a barrel, may as well break out the machine gun to do it with ;-)
