Yes, it's really low powered, and storage is minimal so it can't run even base installs of most known distros. That's why I suggested Alpine; it is aimed primarily at virtual machines (where less is better), but it installs fine on real iron and can be extended up to the point it becomes a full desktop, although still much smaller than the equivalents due to most software being rebuilt against musl therefore being lot smaller than libc.
The 701 will probably be too small even for a Alpine based desktop, but the OP needed a music player, which seems doable to me.
