converting tivo to music server

Advertisements

My old tivo's hard drive died last summer, and since then it's been sitting in the basement. I was wondering today if it would be possible to use the tivo hardware (with a new hard drive) to create a music server.

I don't like tivo's home media option, so I don't care about the tivo software. I'm just trying to figure out if I could put that old box to good use. Plus, it would look nicer than a PC sitting in my living room, and I'm kind of shallow that way.

Has anyone done something like this? What OS and software did you use, and were you able to get a remote control to work? And, how did you do it?

Thanks!
