As a student myself, I think some music players can be hard to afford. Especially the ones small and compact, the price is usually pretty high ---- take iPod as an example, it cost $149. Which is overpriced. This project lets you build an MP3 player/Camera that cost way less than that.
I got my inspiration from looking at my old bulky music player, which doesn't have a graphical user interface either. The MPi3 will be a LOT smaller! And it also contains a camera as a bonus.
This is also a very good project to make if you want a portable device that you bring to school or work. Theoretically, it shouldn't take too much power too drive.
