Vortexbox is a Fedora-based Linux distribution that turns an unused computer into an easy-to-use music server or jukebox. Once Vortexbox has been loaded it will automatically rip CDs to FLAC and MP3 files, ID3-tag the files, and download the cover art. Vortexbox will then serve the files to network media player. The file can also be streamed to a Windows or Mac OS X system.
