A data point for you:

I've built a MP3 jukebox out of a P100.  Running mpg123 on the console (i.e.,
no X overhead) sucks ~20% CPU.  I would suggest you consider a P60 or maybe a
DX4/100 as you minimum hardware rather than going for the DX2/66.  (The P100
is also capable of ripping/encoding new mp3s while playing without causing
any skips in playback.  Another nice feature you may want to have
avaliable...)
