Move on, I Just found another active thread for this topic.

I haven't searched these archives but it seems like this would have come up before. For those who weren't fortunate to get a Riocar, how feasable would it be to emulate this on a Mini-PC like the one below.

I was thinking that this could be configured with 2 boot-up modes, one bootup mode being like the Rio Car, and the other to boot up in a graphical mode (bare bones Windows, Gnome, KDE, or whatever) so that you could copy or download music on it and then run some version of Emplode to register the files in the database.
