s3fs for openwrt
If you’ve been following along with my wifi radio posts, you may recall my problem of storage for the platform. I chose an ultra-low power and nearly zero storage device for my music collection because I planned to buy an external storage device and serve music from that device. I still think that’s a good idea, but I’m too cheap to spring for the kind of device I really want. So I’ve been experimenting with cloud storage which has a number of big advantages which I won’t get into here.
Finding a good,
cheap sound card should have been as easy as ordering the one mentioned
on the mighty ohm for $10, but I thought I’d save eight bucks and order
the cheapest possible one on ebay. When it arrived, the right channel
was totally non-functional and to say the sound quality was poor would
be an understatement. It was impressive though, that anyone could
manufacture and deliver to my door a brand new USB sound card even
counting the defects for only two dollars. But that’s all beside the
point.
In 
The first thing I did after joining this device to my wifi network
was telnet in and change my password. Now the project that I’ve been
following up to this point is mainly to be used for playing internet
radio stations as I understand it. My wifi radio is going to be used for
that too, but also for playing selections from my own music library. I
plan to get one of these Buffalo 1TB Linkstation NAS devices and put all
my media on it and leave it down in the basement. I’ve read that you can
really customize these devices, but all I need to do is add an ssh
server to it. Then I can mount the whole filesystem to a folder on my
wifi radio and have access to a full terabyte of storage space.
