Hello, first let me say I didn't really knew were to put this thread so I guessed this would be the right place.
I recently was talking to a friend of mine who has made it own hardware DVD/MP3 player ( it's a computer in a rack with a with a little matrix orbital lcd screen ) about programming an own interface.
My question is (I've programmed a bit):
Would it be possible to make a program that could recognize and load a cd when it is inserted? (I mean so that it can say on the orbital : oggcd, mp3cd, dvd)
Would it then be possible to, in case of music, generate a playlist according to the tagged info? (id3v2 for mp3, normal oggtags)
Is it also possible to have the decoders (mp3,ogg,dvd) in there as well, (I really don't have a clue on how to do this) so you don't have to use an external decoder anymore (winamp).
What would be the best programming language to do this in, I must be able to send info to the orbital lcd.
I hope you guys can help me out
