Mopidy

******



`Mopidy`_ is an extensible music server written in Python.



Mopidy plays music from local disk, Spotify, SoundCloud, Google Play Music, and

more. You edit the playlist from any phone, tablet, or computer using a variety

of MPD and web clients.



**Stream music from the cloud**



Vanilla Mopidy only plays music from files and radio streams.  Through

`extensions`_, Mopidy can play music from cloud services like Spotify,

SoundCloud, and Google Play Music.

With Mopidy's extension support, backends for new music sources can be easily

added.



**Mopidy is just a server**



Mopidy is a Python application that runs in a terminal or in the background on

Linux computers or Macs that have network connectivity and audio output.

Out of the box, Mopidy is an HTTP server. If you install the `Mopidy-MPD`_

extension, it becomes an MPD server too. Many additional frontends for

controlling Mopidy are available as extensions.



**Pick your favorite client**



You and the people around you can all connect their favorite MPD or web client

to the Mopidy server to search for music and manage the playlist together.

With a browser or MPD client, which is available for all popular operating

systems, you can control the music from any phone, tablet, or computer.



**Mopidy on Raspberry Pi**



The `Raspberry Pi`_ is a popular device to run Mopidy on, either using

Raspbian, Ubuntu, or Arch Linux.

Pimoroni recommends Mopidy for use with their `Pirate Audio`_ audio gear for

Raspberry Pi.

Mopidy is also a significant building block in the `Pi Musicbox`_ integrated

audio jukebox system for Raspberry Pi.



**Mopidy is hackable**



Mopidy's extension support and Python, JSON-RPC, and JavaScript APIs make

Mopidy a perfect base for your projects.

In one hack, a Raspberry Pi was embedded in an old cassette player. The buttons

and volume control are wired up with GPIO on the Raspberry Pi, and are used to

control playback through a custom Mopidy extension. The cassettes have NFC tags

used to select playlists from Spotify.
