external hard drive

Hi
i have an external hard that i hook up to television. i was wondering if there is any way you could run some music software on it so i can select and play music play list. it already plays music but u have to select each song everytime.

thanks

I reckon you would have to install an operating system of some kind on the HD in order to use a music player on it, not sure whats the best option though, maybe some of the open source experts will be able to offer more help...

On a standard ext hard drive .... No , there would need to be some hardware in there capable of doing this and there is not.

There are media player hard drives you can get , these have the necessary electronics to do what you want , but standard Ext hard drive does not.

this is a media player but it only lets me play mp3s one at a time and not as a play list which i would love to be able to do.
