Some weeks ago, someone mentioned an ethernet based mp3 player being used for distributed auto. Well I purchased one of the sliMP3 players from Slim Devices and I am very pleased with its' performace.
Check out Slim Devices MP3 Player
Initially I had some problems with the player but received an email response over the weekend within a couple hours from Seam Adams. Then after speaking to him on the telephone (he returned my call), I had a replacement unit in 2 days. Very responsive service.
Anyway, the sliMP3 player will integrate easily into any Homeseer environment. Beside using a standard IR remote it also has a web server. Mine is running under ActivePerl on my Homeseer W2K machine without problems. If I really trusted you guys I would allow the MP3 player web page to show to Guests but I don't want my whole house stereo playing odd music at all hours.
The server allows browsing your entire music collection with a IR remote, including playlists. The interface is very KISS. You can do the same things even easier from the html page. I haven't tried to customize the web interface but it can't be too difficult.
The sliMP3 player isn't the least expensive MP3 solution at $249 but I think it is very competitive with the standalone MP3 servers on the market. I am very statisfied and probably will purchase at least one more unit.
