Re: TI-H: empeg player
It is still great. I mean, linux freaks would absolutely LOVE the idea of
linux running in their car. It is like an all in one device just for the
car. As far as I am concerned, I'd either use a bare computer in my car, or
I'd wait till SOMEONE fscking comes out with a portable mp3 player with a
2.5" HDD for its media. In that case, I'd just hook it up to the Auxilary
port of the car audio deck. That doesn't seem to be happening with any less
than 12V @ 1A, so we'll just have to wait longer. If a player used a HDD,
it would only last about an hour with 2 AA bats anyway. I dunno...
