Hi Frederico,

Just to add my opinion: we run mythbuntu as our main TV etc. Its music
player is OK, but nowhere near as good as almost any other media
player (banshee, mpd, amarok, songbird...). I end up using banshee
rather than myth's own player.
If you're mainly thinking of music playback, don't start with mythtv!
It's very cool for TV though.

Hi all,
it's the first time I write in this mailing list and I hope I'm not OT.
I'm looking for a hifi stereo system with USB support. I mean: I want to
be able to plug an external USB hard disk, browse the folders and choose
the files I want to listen to.
I've found some products (by Cambridge Audio) that support all the
formats I use, i.e. Ogg and Flac.
But it seems that the only supported filesystem is FAT32.
I wonder if you know some product which support some more advanced
filesystem. Hopefully ext2/3/4, but even NTFS would be maybe better than
FAT32.
FAT32 is slow and doesn't support some characters in the file name. I
know I'll have some problems copying my huge collection of files in a
FAT32 filesystem.
Any hint is appreciated.
Thanks!
Federico
I suppose you're looking for an off-the-shelf product, however what you
wish to accomplish is easily done by just taking an old laptop (or
similar) with a good audio-interface and simply install GNU/Linux.
There's quite a few OOTB "media-center" distributions:

http://www.geexbox.org/
...
Doings so should not take longer than finding a product that does what
you want :-)
