RPi-Jukebox-RFID VS raveberry

I casually accumulated parts to build a Phoniebox over the last year but neglected to keep up with the project page to see that libspotify was shut down. I have a Pi Zero W and MiniAmp hat, speakers, RC522 board, pretty much everything except some nice arcade buttons, but I pivoted to an ESPHome-based project with an ESP8266 and RC522 getting pulled into Home Assistant as an entity. That's as far as I got with it, now I'm taking a step back. I'm open to anything as long as it lets my kid tap an NFC card and play music somewhere. Could be an internal hardwired speaker, could be Bluetooth, could be cast to a Google Home Mini. The important part is that there's a kid-friendly box with an RC522 and some simple control buttons. Everything after that, I'm flexible.

My GF didn’t want to get rid of her old CDs despite never listening to any of them. So I built her a Phonie Box and RFID tagged all of her CDs. She loved it and actually expanded her CD collection because of it. It feels a bit like magic just putting a CD, book or whatever you tagged on the box and it starts playing the album/audiobook/Spotify playlist

I have this idea of building a toy (wooden) vinyl player for my daughter. I love vinyl, so does she - but is still too young (3 years) to handle it properly, so I want this wooden vinyl player to take on wooden discs that I put an RFID chip in, and then the RaspberryPi inside the vinyl player recognizes that chip via an RFID-reader and gets some music playing. I worked out the latter part (Phoniebox ftw) but need advice on how to best get a child-proof mechanism in order to get the wooden discs spinning.

Maybe look into the Phoniebox project on Github? I built one a while ago using a raspberry pie and while I am not a programmer the software does for me exactly what you describe. I scan a tag and it then plays the spotify album

The 3d printed parts are my own design, the electronics and software are all from: https://github.com/MiczFlor/RPi-Jukebox-RFID.

Raveberry is probably worth checking out.

You don't need to use that project, though. You could probably use Traefik, although I've never worked with it and I'm not sure whether this is the right tool for this purpose. You could also modify the nginx config and mount it into the raveberry-nginx container:

The default streaming password is "raveberry:raveberry". You can change it on the icecast admin interface at http://raveberry.local:8000/admin, see also here.

Github: https://github.com/raveberry/raveberry

You can try Raveberry. It does support also local files.

Raveberry is a project that makes parties more fun by allowing everybody to influence the music. With an LED ring in the transparent case of the Raspberry Pi, I tried to make it visually interesting as well. I want to share with you how the ring is connected and controlled, how I made the lights react to the music and how I modified the colors to make them a little more appealing.

Improved documentation on the remote feature in this file, adding example steps for a minimal setup.

For anyone else stumbling upon something similar, we moved to Github.

Take a look at Raveberry, it can play spotify playlists (though you need to set it up yourself)

Sounds like Raveberry
