Open a PR.\n\n\n***********\nPi MusicBox\n***********\n\nPi MusicBox is the Swiss Army Knife of streaming music on the Raspberry Pi.\nWith Pi MusicBox, you can create a cheap (Sonos-like) standalone streaming\nmusic player for Spotify and other online music services.\n\n\nMaintainer Wanted\n=================\n\nThis project is outdated and requires more work than I am currently prepared\nto invest. If you are interested in becoming the maintainer then please get\nin touch.\n\n\nFeatures\n========\n\n- Headless audio player based on `Mopidy \u003chttps://www.mopidy.com/\u003e`_. Just\n  connect your speakers or headphones - no need for a monitor.\n- Quick and easy setup with no Linux knowledge required.\n- Stream music from Spotify, SoundCloud, Google Music and YouTube.\n- Listen to podcasts (with iTunes and Podder directories) as well as online\n  radio (TuneIn, Dirble and Soma FM).\n- Play MP3/OGG/FLAC/AAC music from your SD card, USB drives and network shares.\n- Remote controllable with a choice of browser-interfaces or with an MPD-client\n  (e.g. `MPDroid\n  \u003chttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.namelessdev.mpdroid\u003e`_ for\n  Android).\n- AirTunes/AirPlay and DLNA streaming from your smartphone, tablet or computer.\n- Support for all kinds of USB, HifiBerry and IQ Audio soundcards.\n- Wi-Fi support (WPA, Raspbian supported Wi-Fi adapters only)\n- Last.fm scrobbling.\n- Spotify Connect support.\n\n**Please note that Pi MusicBox does NOT currently support the Raspberry Pi 4.**\n\n\nInstallation\n============\n\n1. Download the `latest release \u003chttps://github.com/pimusicbox/pimusicbox/releases\u003e`_.\n2. Write the image to your SD card. See `here \u003chttps://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/README.md\u003e`_ for details.\n3. Customise the /boot/config/settings.ini file.\n4. Boot your Raspberry Pi and wait for PiMusicbox to start.\n5. Finish configuring the system using the web settings.  \n\n\nCreating an image\n=================\n\nIf you want to build an image from source, note that the current v0.7 image is an\nincremental update of v0.6 and can be generated as follows::\n\n    # 1. Install prerequisite packages (probably not an exhaustive list, sorry....)\n    sudo apt-get install git coreutils e2fsprogs zerofree util-linux qemu-user-static latexmk python-sphinx\n\n    # 2. Download and unzip very latest project source files (use master.zip for current release)\n    wget https://github.com/pimusicbox/pimusicbox/archive/develop.zip\n    unzip develop.zip \u0026\u0026 mv pimusicbox-develop src\n\n    # 3. Download and unzip base v0.6 image\n    wget https://github.com/pimusicbox/pimusicbox/releases/download/v0.6.0/pimusicbox-0.6.0.zip\n    unzip pimusicbox-0.6.0.zip \u0026\u0026 mv musicbox0.6.img musicbox.img\n\n    # 4. Enlarge image so there is free space to work in \n    ./src/makeimage.sh musicbox.img bigger\n\n    # 5. Run update script within base image (requires sudo).\n    ./src/chroot.sh musicbox.img create_musicbox0.7.sh\n\n    # 6. Go have a cup of tea/coffee while you wait...\n\n    # 7. Shrink the image and other finishing touches\n    ./src/makeimage.sh musicbox.img finalise\n\n\nProject resources\n=================\n\n- `Website \u003chttps://pimusicbox.github.io/\u003e`_\n- `Discussion forum \u003chttps://discourse.mopidy.com/c/pi-musicbox\u003e`_\n- `Source code \u003chttps://github.com/pimusicbox/pimusicbox\u003e`_\n- `Changelog \u003chttps://github.com/pimusicbox/pimusicbox/blob/develop/docs/changes.rst\u003e`_\n- `Issue tracker \u003chttps://github.com/pimusicbox/pimusicbox/issues\u003e`_\n- Twitter: `@PiMusicBox \u003chttps://twitter.com/pimusicbox\u003e`_\n- Facebook: `raspberrypimusicbox \u003chttps://www.facebook.com/raspberrypimusicbox\u003e`_\n\n\nLicense\n=======\n\nCopyright 2013-2020 Wouter van Wijk and contributors.\n\nLicensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0.
