PI Radio 🍇

With the goal to put my Raspberry Pi to use as a streaming stataion, I've created this general purpose project. Using the flask library, the code in this project will start a small webserver that serves a main webpage. By using the controls on this page, a user can select to play/pause an online audio stream and change the volumen. Because everything is controlled through a webpage, that is hosted by the device running the code, any other device on the same network can be used to control what is being played.

In my case, I have used this project to turn my Raspberry Pi into a device that is able to play my favorite online radio streams. After hooking up my Raspberry Pi to a set of speakers in the garden, I can now listen to some music outdoors. And the best thing of it all, I can easily control what is being played by using my smartphone!

Try it yourself!

Before you start exploring the project, make sure the following prerequisites are installed on your machine/device:

  • mpc - This library is required to control the playback of online streams and volume controls.
  • Python

Using the conf/stations.json, you can configure a set of online streams to provide on the main webpage. The only thing left for you to do is to start the app.py script and listen to your tunes 🎵🤘🤘
