Pi-Jukebox is an mpd client application which you can use with a
Raspberry Pi with touchscreen.
Do you have a huge music collection and wanted to be able to access it
anywhere in your house? I did. I was inspired by some other Raspberry Pi
projects, like adafruit’s pi radio project. I wanted my music player to be able to access my music from my
NAS drive, but also wanted to be able to play music brought by friends
on their USB stick. These projects brought me to mpd: a music server program
that allows you to control enormous amounts of music. It is easy to search
through your music collection and play it. mpd has many client apps
by which you can control your music on loads of different devices. But...
What if there’s no wifi access? You must be able to control the device
directly: enter the touchscreen and enter pi-jukebox.
Future plans include:
- Bluetooth streaming
- Switching between single room and multi-room simultaneous playback.
- Although it is made with a adafruit 320x240
touchscreen in mind, it should be fairly simple to adjust it for larger
screens (in later versions I’m planning to do some scaling).
