	It seems that John likes his gadgets just as much as the next guy, maybe even more. At any rate John described a portable mp3 player that uses his Nintendo DS with the web browser cartridge which is set to be released soon. I’ll make no comments regarding whether or not John has his name on a waiting list at the local video game store so he can be the first guy on the block to get one of these, I'll just say whatever makes you happy. In any event, John described a wireless connection from the mp3 player that would automatically link up to his home network and sync with his music collection when the mp3 player is in range. Of course, this whole system is based on the Kurobox.		It seems that John likes his gadgets just as much as the next guy, maybe even more.

-	Jinzora runs somewhat slow on the Kurobox, but if you aren’t in a hurry, it does work. We can setup Jinzora in jukebox mode and access it with any standard web browser – including a Nintendo DS with web browser cartridge, although I haven't specifically ~~tested~~ tested this part with a wireless network connection. It does work through the wired network so I have no reason to believe that it won't work with the DS.	+	Jinzora runs somewhat slow on the Kurobox, but if you aren’t in a hurry, it does work.

	We installed Jinzora and its dependencies (Apache, PHP, MySQL) as part of the All in One project. If you don’t have them installed the All in One instructions are available on the Kurobox wiki. There are only a few easy steps necessary to configure Jinzora as a jukebox. '''The following instructions are taken from www.jinzora.com''' (giving credit where credit is due). Lets get started. First we need to install the Music Player Daemon (mpd).		We installed Jinzora and its dependencies (Apache, PHP, MySQL) as part of the All in One project.

-	Since I have a (small) budget for experimenting and don’t have a Nintendo anything, I came up with a different plan. In place of John’s Nintendo DS I have substituted an old Palm M100 (it was a freebie) which is capable of full alphanumeric input and display. Connection is currently via a serial port which I ~~had~~ installed in my Kuro. Two way serial communication is essential so get your magnifying glass out and move r76. I have most of the parts to build a standard serial to IRDA converter. I just need a crystal and I can complete it, although a complete converter is available for about $15 online, this is a hacking platform. Once it is completed and installed, communication via the Palm M100 will be wireless since the M100 has a built in IRDA port.	+	Since I have a (small) budget for experimenting and don’t have a Nintendo anything, I came up with a different plan.
