One workplace runs a headless Linux box, with a keyboard, as a jukebox. It 
uses nice Yamaha-744-based soundcards and has no probs streaming MP3 on 3 
cards at once. The queue is a bash script and cron job, they've numbered the 
tunes, printed the list, and requests are keyed in on a numeric keypad. No TV 
out but it may get a LED array on a parport soon.
