[mythtv-users] Standalone music player with mythfrontend on Raspberry PI?

[Gordon McCrae]

I'm thinking more of a non-MythTV device like one of the devices from 
Logitech, Sony, etc.

Just curious if anyone else on this list has a similar device and using 
it with MP3 files hosted on Linux.

Cheers
Gordon
