It is rather frustrating for those of us who run on Unix to see the CDJ
software for running a PC mp3/CD jukebox. Are there any equivalent systems for
Linux or other Unixes?

The wonderful thing about Unix is that I can run the jukebox software on a
sessile PC sitting in an ignored corner, and interface to it from anywhere on
the Net over X. This includes anywhere in my condo, since my ThinkPad has a
wireless ethernet PC card. Can't do that with Windows.

A 100% Java version would also be just the right thing. 

I just got my CDP-CX300; I'm reading the docs on the Nirvis site & trying to
figure out the next steps.

While I'm posting, does anyone have any FM tuner card or sound card
recommendations to make? The hardware has to be runnable from Linux. A
high-quality soundcard that handled super-CD sample sizes & sample rates would
be really nice.

Thanks for any tips.
