VortexBox是基于Fedora的Linux发行，它将一台没在使用的计算机转变为一台易于使用的音乐服务器或电唱机。一旦VortexBox加载好，它能自动从CD唱片转换出FLAC和MP3文件、对文件进行ID3标记、下载封面图样。VortexBox之后便能使这些文件服务于网络媒体播放软件，音乐文件也能以流媒体形式运送到Windows或Mac OS X操作系统。
VortexBox is a free, open source (GPL v3), quick-install ISO that turns your unused computer into an easy-to-use music server/jukebox. Once VortexBox has been loaded on an unused PC, it will automatically rip CDs to FLAC and MP3 files, ID3 tag the files , and download the cover art. Vortexbox will then serve the files to network media players such as Logitech Squeezebox, Sonos, or Linn. The music files can also be streamed to a Windows or Mac OSX system.
