Knoppix + Old PC = Digital Jukebox
O'Reilly: Resurrect Your Old PC for Music—with Linux
This is a pretty decent breakdown on how to save an old PII/III or AMD K6-2/3 for use as a jukebox using Knoppix. The 2 page article is "chock full" of pretty little screenshots, linked term defintions and corollary instructions to configure Knoppix and the apps you need to use. It doesn't get easier than this.
Are you the kind of person who can't toss out old gear? I know I am--though I must admit that embracing the art of junk-collecting has come in hand from time to time. For instance, this article will show you how to resurrect a tired old PC by installing a modern operating system, and then revitalize the computer as an internet-enabled CD player, DVD burner, and MP3 jukebox.
