Well, that boot CD is still an operating system. The only computer I know of that can do without was the original MIX computer, it ran fine without an operating system. You could bootstrap it with punched cards or paper tape and do everything yourself.
Some very small version of linux with just a mp3 player maybe though would save a lot of battery. I'm not sure how much you would save though.
