 The Revenstar M3
Mysterious Music Machine is a jukebox/program source server that, on
boot up immediately starts playing a user-defined library of digital
audio files. This small device uses less than 50 watts of power and
with only two small low-velocity fans, is nearly silent. It is
available in both a desktop and 1RU rackmount form factor. It boots
from a solid state disk and runs FreeBSD for enhanced reliability and
security. When connected to the network it plays tracks at random from
its library. The program library can be accessed by any computer
connected to the same network, which see it as a file share. Adding new
program material is as simple as dragging and dropping files to the
shared folder.
Applications
The M3 is ideal for providing custom background
music for retail, clinics, restaurants, and other public facilities as
well as a program source for broadcast. The file bank is divided into
two folders; music can be placed into one and custom commercials,
greetings, or announcements into the other. A configuration file lets
you set the number of songs between commercials/announcements and the
number of commercials to be played before resuming music playback. As
an option, a log of which files were played and at what time can be
saved for billing purposes.
Security
The shared folder can be password protected to
prevent unauthorized access to the library. The machine runs only the
file sharing program and media player and is firewalled to ignore
requests for other services. As with any file share device (such as a
file server or NAS) it should be connected to a private network to
prevent abuse. Software upgrades are unnecessary when used in a trusted
environment.
