Building An MP3 Jukebox From An Arcade Machine

He said, 'The problem was, my non-computer friends always had trouble selecting songs, creating songlists, deleting songlists, etc.' So he got to work building such a machine, providing the steps in case you would like to as well. Pictures are included as well. Pretty spiffy if you have a game room!"

    First Post. I'd like to make an announcement: Kathleen Fent fucked my dog last night.

    This is a pretty obvious hoax. The speakers on a coin-op are crappy and totally unable to handle frequences that an MP3 is going to put out. Then look at the picture of the UI--is it obvious to anyone else where he photoshopped that from?

    Good job, Slashdot. In your zeal to post Yet Another Homemade MP3 (That Probably Cost Four Times Retail) you've once again posted a hoax.

    .. must be an easier task, if you fail with the mp3 player.

    From the article: However, the Altec Lansing speakers drew too many amps for the machine's power supply so I had to revert back to the speakers in the box.

    So nyah!

    It's like we're not even reading the same story. I'm on Slashdot--where are you posting from? Jupiter?

    I didn't make up that step. Check step 24. Also note step 21 where the he notes that the power strip is just for surge protection. The standup's power supply is still powered the *internal* speakers.

    Of course, it's all irrelevant because this is an obvious hoax. Look again at the screenshot of the UI. Stolen right from a Visor, if I'm not mistaken.
