mp3 network player

Hello!

I'm looking for a way to build small mp3 network player. It should be something like

but cheaper. Could you suggest me some embedded system that has:

- 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 ??

No.

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!

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 ;-)
