Just a quick update regarding the screen of this device.

i have a lovely little 5" LCD display complete with driver board which I was going to use for this build, but I have received some good news!

I stumbled upon a new lines of touchscreens being released by FDI which were build for use with the Pi. As luck would have it they were offering 5 screens as part of a development challenge, so i submitted my plans for my player and i have been selected!

So, in summary, this build will now hopefully be featuring a lovely 7" touch screen:
