musicpal
Command line interface for remote controlling a Freecom MusicPal media player.
The Freecom MusicPal is one of the early hardware media players / internet radios that was released around 2007.
At a price of 100-150 Euros, it was quite cheap and also hackable as it is running a Linux-based OS with easy debugging access and a published development toolchain.
The last stable firmware version 1.67 sports a 2.6.16 Linux kernel. All services are offered by a single application called Nashville which, unfortunately, is closed source.
