GoogleMusicRadio

================

Internet radio which streams music form a Google Play library using a Raspberry Pi and Arduino.

Overview

--------

Allows browsing and playing tracks from a Google Play music library on a hardware internet radio, browsing library is done through a Artist>Album>Track menu structure (or a Playlist>Track structure in the case of playlists).

The radio is intended to be used with [Last.fm](http://last.fm) to report the currently playing track, scrobble listened tracks and to love tracks at the request of the user.

A basic user interface of 6 buttons, two rotary encoders with push in switches and a 4 row, 20 column LCD is used, although it is possible to use various sizes of LCD based on specific user requirements enclosure designs.

Note that this radio is designed to work with a personal library only, personally I don't use the All Access service so have no need to support it, but feel free to add this functionality, the Google Music API does support All Access radio.

Requirements

------------

Libraries required for Arduino and Raspberry Pi are listed in the respective folders.

Build Instructions

------------------

A complete guide to building a radio is available [here](http://www.instructables.com/id/Google-Play-Music-Internet-Radio-Raspberry-Pi-and/) on Instructbles.

A demo of the final project is available [here](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgPbvo-8iRc).
