I don't need it hooked up to my phone just want one to play tunes at home and to burn cds.
There was a previous thread about the "Escient Fireball MX-111"
you mentioned - apparently out of production a few years now

Old skool!
Apparently it had a 160GB hard drive - these days, drives under 2000GB (e.g, 2TB) are considered small.
Okay, so you want a canned computer "server" with CD drive to rip files to a hard drive,
and a sound-card or similar to let you output audio to your music system.
No need for phone/pad type external controls ...?
Tho they are still out there, there's not a huge market for those anymore -
that's why everyone has been recommending some kind of DIY or other.
No flames, but good luck!
