If that shade bothers you, and you don’t want to re-paint it, you’re free to order one in a more manly color.

Mine is pink, a good indication that it’s a v2.

The model number is printed on the bottom of the Pogoplug (along witht its MAC address) and should start with “POGO-E02”. You want the Pogoplug version 2, with an ARMv5-compatible processor, not a more recent Pogplug. Even more confusing, the model number shown in the ads may not match what you receive in the box. There are several different PogoPlug models that look almost the same on the outside. Buying the PogoPlugīe sure you purchase a PogoPlug with the right CPU. Mine are copied from his, with minor additions to the post-installation procedures. I recommend you read and follow Andrew’s instructions.

The only thing you need for that is the PogoPlug device plus a USB stick with a capacity of at least 4 GB. These instructions cover only the VAMP player. I have my Vortexbox running in a 512mb KVM virtual machine.

You’ll need to also install the Vortexbox. It can run on modest hardware like the PogoPlug because it passively receives and plays the streams fed to it by a server like Vortexbox. For under $50, I’ve replaced the bulky and energy-inefficient computer/receiver setup with a PogoPlug, a USB audio adapter, and a tiny amplifier. I followed his step by step for installing the software and turning a PogoPlug into a “VAMP”. Then I found that the lead author of Vortexbox had converted a Pogoplug into a player with features rivaling the Logitech Squeezebox. However, I had to dedicate a second computer as the music player, connected directly to my home stereo receiver. It allows me to rip and stream my CD collection. I’ve been running a music server called Vortexbox. But hobbyists discovered they could root it, install their own version of Linux, and use it for much more than a file server. The company behind it hopes you’ll use their service to back up your files in the cloud. It was marketed as a way to share media like external hard drives on your home network (it has several USB ports). The Pogoplug Classic is a popular item on eBay and online retailers, often selling for less than $20.
