    I'm putting together a Jukebox and I'm having trouble finding a good distro for it. I want something that's got a nice interface, a scraper, and I'd really love Touchscreen support. Infinite thanks in advance.

    Edit: Searched "Linux Jukebox Distro" first result was exactly what I needed. God I'm an idiot.

    Personally i would use XBMC, nicer skins and very tweakable.

    I use XBMC for my media computer and while Vortexbox lacks the shiny interface of XMBC It's got better Jukebox only features. Besides I've decided against going touchscreen and I'm just gonna go for a 7 inch screen to display song title and Album art and use a Remote to control it.


    This also marks the 13th computer in my office wow.

    Wouldn't be a Squeezebox / Logitech Media Server + softsqueeze controlled through web interface be a better solution ?

    Yeah, VortexBox is pretty awesome. I reviewed it a while back for Linux User & Developer. The auto-rip functionality is amaze.
