Arduino Jukebox
Nice looking box build with an arduino, basically the music is stored on an SD card (I think). My 2 cents, I would use something that gave me network connectivity to pull off radiostations and MP3s off a server. http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=es&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Farduino-guay.blogspot.com.es%2F2012%2F10%2Freproductor-mp3-con-arduino-i.html
