juice box

At a store near me they have those juice box mp3 and video players for 18 bucks. Pretty cheap considering they go for like 60. But i was wondering would that screen maybe work for a portable. if not does any one else know of any sweet hacks or ideas?

Now they are even cheeper at toys r us they are like $14 for a sale called green tag 70% off clearenced, ther is also a lot of other stuff on this sale like psone screens hmm. But that is only if you are lucky enough to get one (i got the last one at my store).

Edit: no the screen won't work it is digital not composit

Yeah the screen isn't easily usable in something else. It does run linux when you play MP3s from SD cards. You can make your own MP3 kit with a little effort (soldering in a SD card slot), and there are conversion tools for converting images without having the CD that comes with the kit.
