MPD being Music Player Daemon on linux. It's bloody good isn't it? I'd only really been using it as part of Volumio on an RPi but today I was messing with an old phone (HTC Sensation) to try and use it as some sort of music remote/player in the kitchen. After trying various things I ended up installing CyanogenMod 12.1, aMPD and mounting my music network share. aMPD is an MPD server for Android. Phone is hooked up to an amp+speakers, plugged in and hidden away. Controlled via MPDroid on another phone or with any MPC software on a computer. Seems like a decent way to repurpose an old Android phone currently sitting in a drawer gathering dust. A

No, it's like os x except it's free, more secure, easier to install software to, customize, troubleshoot, upgrade and maintain, and runs on any hardware. Also useful for recovering windows. ---- "Giant pig hot air balloon crashes after tangling with a cowboy-shaped one"

So are you saying that you don't use Linux and engage in self-flagellation?

What spec does that old phone have? This'd be perfect for a kitchen media player for me... We've got a CD player/mini hifi thing in there and it's 3 floors away from the CDs. As I'm a lazy bugger and not want to be shifting stuff all over the house, streaming it from the network share would be ace. However... I've only got a very old Galaxy Ace lying around and I'm not sure if it'll be up to the job. Drawings n' that

The phone is a HTC Sensation, I'll try and find out what the actual audio spec is. They did release a Beats version (Sensation XE) which was actually exactly the same spec, just CPU clocked a bit higher and came with some Beats earphones so I imagine the audio side of things is reasonable. I bet the Galaxy Ace is more than good enough. First of all I'd copy some music to it and just try it. Edit: If you want to use the Galaxy Ace as the music player but to also control then you'll need a music app rather than use aMPD. A
