sonopod
=======

A simple command line podcast player for Sonos

why?
----

This little utilty is great for building a remote control for Sonos.

The primary use case is for a headless Raspberry pi, reading RFID cards
to choose podcasts to play on the Sonos speaker.

If you find any other use for it, add your story!
