Hacker-friendly karaoke PMP runs Linux
A Taiwanese electronic system design company has developed an open-source MP3, video, and Karaoke player that runs Linux 2.6.x. Cool-Idea Technology's Cool-Karaoke uses a 400MHz ARM920t processor, includes 4GB of flash and a 320x240 display, and supports customization with a freely downloadable toolchain and source code.
The 4.4 x 2.1 x 0.8-inch device includes a dual-mode client/host USB port for recharging via a computer, or saving files to a USB storage device. The DRM-free Cool-Karaoke supports MP3, OGG, WAV, and FLAC audio formats and MPG, AVI, and FLV video formats, says Cool-Idea. The player is also said to support MP3 recording via karaoke, microphone, line-in, or FM. It offers up to 10 hours music and five hours video playback, says the company.
The Cool-Karaoke stands apart from most personal media players (PMPs) that offer karaoke features due to its inclusion of "lots of hardware audio mixers," says the company.
