Omnifi hard drive based MP3 player addon
Came across this product the other day while checking out overstock.com and thought some of you might find it interesting: Rockford Fosgate Omnifi Home & Car Wi-Fi MP3 Kit
It's got a 20GB hard drive and a DIN sized display/crontroller. The hard drive can be ejected and then connected to you home PC via USB or it has a wireless connection. Pretty cool but it's only USB 1.1 and the wireless is 80211b.
Apparently the company, Omnifi, got in legal trouble for violating open souce software licenses and hasn't come out with any new versions or even been supporting the old. However, the open source community has it's own software for it here: http://openfi.sourceforge.net/index.php
I really want something that plays FLAC files, so I'm looking at either a car PC or plugging a Cowon X5 into a headunit aux input.
