I've finally moved onto a new phone and I was wondering if anyone knows how I might turn my droid into strictly just a MP3 player? Ideally I'm looking for something that operates similarly to an ipod touch but I'm not sure how to go about this.

Has anyone tried doing this?

I just flashed MIUI ROM onto my old Droid. It gives you an iOS feel if you are into that. See instructions on Droid-life.com

I have tried out MIUI and I was very impressed. I guess what I'm looking for is a ROM that is strictly built to use the phone as an MP3 player. I'm not sure if theres a ROM out there that does this but I might be able to delete the pieces that I don't want (i.e. phone, 3G connectivity).

Is that possible? I've installed a bunch of ROMs but I'm not sure if you can delete core functionality.

I just told you how to do it on any ROM. Just wipe userdata and bypass the activation screen. Follow the instructions from the above link.
