No one is working on it.

I wanted to put this idea out there to see if anyone thinks it's a good/bad idea, or has been done else where?

I run Rockbox on my 5.5th gen iPod and it's great  :D  Coupled with Media Monkey it has enabled me to get away from Apple software which really rocks   8)

I'm currently putting together a low power, small form factor Linux box for playing music from a NAS box.  (much like a Squeezebox)  I have a Pertelian X2040 display and Streamzap IR remote which will be used in this project.

It occurred to me that what I really want is Rockbox running as an app on the Linux box, making system calls for audio output, file access, etc & using the Streamzap API's & X2040 for user IO.  I like the unobtrusiveness of a CD player for music & dislike having to turn on a bright LCD TV to change album when I'm chilling out in the evening.

Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere, my searching turned up only this thread.

Cheers!

@jmon: LOL, that's that's just about exactly what I did. :-) However, I soldered it myself. Display is probably the same standard with probably a different USB driver, and I didn't use an IR remote.

Do you have soldering skills? If not, interested in mine? I want to make a smaller version, and then this one is spare.
