Here is the deal. I have a home DVD player and on-dash screen, run off a power inverter. Playing Mp3's on the DVD player workes great, 4.7 gigs of music on a disk, I can sort through them using the screen, great whatever.... I have a 125 gig external hard drive full of music is there anyway to hook up the USB on that harddrive to a processing unit that puts out video and sound? (other than a laptop) I have no power restricitons, and I would perfer it to be small, (about the size of my half-sized DVD player.

Any Ideas?

Plus the DVD player sound quality output is not as good as just playing normal Mp3 cds off of my head unit so I am looking for a change anyway.

 

In short, No.

 

bump, i just need something whose format is like a Mp3 Cd player something that just reads Data formated music and turns it into audio with a readout of the folders and titles.

 

You are asking for alot.. WHy not get soemthing like this:

This way, you can kiss your DVD player bye bye & go straight PC w/ a DVD ROM.

Mount in trunk, get a wireless keyboard & mouse.. Good to go...

You wont need to have some bad *** PC in there. Just something that will play MP3's & show DVD's without it locking up. I am sure there are some used PC out there for cheap that will handle this easily. Just pick up a good sound card that can put out what you want it too.

 

dude buy yourself an ipod or clone and plug it into an auxiliary port
bottom line

 

Dude, Ipods are max 40GB, and cost $350+, I have more music than that, plus the display is too small. That is alot of money that you can only use to play music, I have thought about it alot trust me.

Computer eh, wireless mouse eh? maybe I can rig something up with my lap top. Interesting.....
