chumPod
The chumPod is a music widget for the Chumby. This is no April's fools joke. Why would anyone create a music widget for the Chumby? Because I like to listen to some internet radio stations on my Chumby and always having to navigate through the chumby menus is very annoying. I would rather have that control "up front" as a widget. Sure, this does not exactly fit the chumby's "widget" paradigm - but it suits my needs.
The current version is barely more than a proof-of-concept. It looks rather ugly (I have no design skills at all) and doesn't yet have a configuration tool for widget configuration (internet radio stations are currently sort of hardcoded). I am working on implementing support for Firefly (or any other Roku Soundbridge Protocol compatible server).
The chumby widget page can be found here. The sourceforge project page is here. And the source code repository is located here.
