a music server on the cheap… eee box
I was just up the road in a 3C store in HongShulin where I saw the ‘fabled’ Asus Eee Box pictured below. It really got me thinking about my music plans. We have an older Yamaha audio system, with a line-in socket. With several GBs of MP3’s purchased legally from EMUSIC and several hundred CDs,…
