Another homebrew MP3 project from awhile back…Procyon MP3 is a hardware MPEG 1 Layer 3 (MP3) audio player which supports user-controlled playback of MP3 files stored on a typical IDE hard disk connected to the device. With the emergence of MP3 as a popular standard for storing, playing, and exchanging music, droves of electronics and computer companies have introduced both portable and desktop MP3 player devices into the consumer market. The rise of MP3 has also produced dozens of personal engineering projects like this one. Link.

i want more info about this player, where can i get it?
on my makezine wishlist: a way to disable the “lexar only” lock on the lexar jump drive usb mp3 player. or something like the above!
the lexar jumpdrive uses removeable usb drives, but to my dismay i found out it only allows you to use lexar usb’s :( I’m guessing it has something to do with the firmware reading the hardware code on the usb drives
anyone with alternative suggestions or posts would be awesome.
