Hi all, I had the opportunity to resurrect an old project I've been wanting to finish for a long time. This control software for the AT-101, a.k.a., "Audiotron", from Turtle Beach [1], now on SqueakMap.
Although this network music player has long since been discontinued, its still, IMO, the best way to replace an old CD collection and bulky mechanical CD player with a slim, fanless, driveless, 1U rack mountable network music player, with zero loss in fidelity (thanks to the S/PDIF output). Just run a Cat5[6] cable to your router and configure access to music shares on an existing desktop computer or NAS drive.
This thing is predates Apple's iPod, but they can be found on eBay, inexpensively. It only plays .WAV, .MP3 and .WMA, and tunes about 900 internet radion stations OOTB, absolutely free, without any signups anywhere.
The Squeak software is a full implementation of the AT-101's control API with a Maui front-end that is 10X more efficient than the units own web interface, and also providing a .WAV ripping and tagging process for Linux to rip and install CD's onto the unit with one click.
Cheers and Happy Holidays! :)
