Old pc's P90 spec and up using dos os and a dos mp3 player. It is
also possible to network dos and then you have a cheap DDAR.

whole house MP3 access
I have the same MP3
requirement as many of you, to listen to MP3's anywhere in the house,
however all of the solutions I have seen seem to have limitations either
cost, functionality or both.
My requirement is simply
this. From any room I wish to be able to choose an MP3 track from a
'central library' and play it.
The problem I have with the DDAR is that the display is so small,
that selecting a track or viewing the current track becomes difficult
(unless you have a handy pair of binoculars close by).
My thinking is that I
have a spare machine I could use as a dedicated MP3 player (connected to
the LAN) and if I could find a simple enough mp3 player software (chunky
and easy for everyone to use) then I could output the screen display and
Audio to the TV, and use the house AV distribution to provide the visual
interface, audio could also be provided by the TV (quality not great but
acceptable). Control of the
system could be achieved using a USB remote receiver attached to the
PC.
Questions:
Is anyone aware of some
decent simple chunky MP3 software that would work well using TV
resolution?
Does anyone have any
experience of the IR Media Remote manufactured by www.keyspan.com -
