README

        ***********

This project is no longer maintained.

***********

There will be no more releases and probably no more support from myself.

The Pi 4 and Zero W 2 do not work with the last release and I don't know

of any workarounds.

Potential alternative software (in no particular order):

* `HiFiBerryOS `_ (Free, Open-Source)

* `Volumio `_ (Free?)

* `Roon `_ (Non-free?)

Have a suggestion/recommendation? Open a PR.

Pi MusicBox

***********

Pi MusicBox is the Swiss Army Knife of streaming music on the Raspberry Pi.

With Pi MusicBox, you can create a cheap (Sonos-like) standalone streaming

music player for Spotify and other online music services.

Maintainer Wanted

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

This project is outdated and requires more work than I am currently prepared

to invest. If you are interested in becoming the maintainer then please get

in touch.

Features

========

- Headless audio player based on `Mopidy `_. Just

  connect your speakers or headphones - no need for a monitor.

- Quick and easy setup with no Linux knowledge required.

- Stream music from Spotify, SoundCloud, Google Music and YouTube.

- Listen to podcasts (with iTunes and Podder directories) as well as online

  radio (TuneIn, Dirble and Soma FM).

- Play MP3/OGG/FLAC/AAC music from your SD card, USB drives and network shares.

- Remote controllable with a choice of browser-interfaces or with an MPD-client

  (e.g. `MPDroid

  `_ for

  Android).

- AirTunes/AirPlay and DLNA streaming from your smartphone, tablet or computer.

- Support for all kinds of USB, HifiBerry and IQ Audio soundcards.

- Wi-Fi support (WPA, Raspbian supported Wi-Fi adapters only)

- Last.fm scrobbling.

- Spotify Connect support.

**Please note that Pi MusicBox does NOT currently support the Raspberry Pi 4.**

Installation

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

1. Download the `latest release `_.

2. Write the image to your SD card. See `here `_ for details.

3. Customise the /boot/config/settings.ini file.

4. Boot your Raspberry Pi and wait for PiMusicbox to start.

5. Finish configuring the system using the web settings.  

Creating an image

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

If you want to build an image from source, note that the current v0.7 image is an

incremental update of v0.6 and can be generated as follows::

    # 1. Install prerequisite packages (probably not an exhaustive list, sorry....)

    sudo apt-get install git coreutils e2fsprogs zerofree util-linux qemu-user-static latexmk python-sphinx

    # 2. Download and unzip very latest project source files (use master.zip for current release)

    wget https://github.com/pimusicbox/pimusicbox/archive/develop.zip

    unzip develop.zip && mv pimusicbox-develop src

    # 3. Download and unzip base v0.6 image

    wget https://github.com/pimusicbox/pimusicbox/releases/download/v0.6.0/pimusicbox-0.6.0.zip

    unzip pimusicbox-0.6.0.zip && mv musicbox0.6.img musicbox.img

    # 4. Enlarge image so there is free space to work in 

    ./src/makeimage.sh musicbox.img bigger

    # 5. Run update script within base image (requires sudo).

    ./src/chroot.sh musicbox.img create_musicbox0.7.sh

    # 6. Go have a cup of tea/coffee while you wait...

    # 7. Shrink the image and other finishing touches

    ./src/makeimage.sh musicbox.img finalise
