Volumio On Raspberry Pi

(1/1)

ralph:
Not telephony related but a lot of fun.

Last night I discovered Volumio.  It allows me to play hundreds of internet radio stations through my stereo using a Raspberry Pi.
I downloaded the image for the Pi and it boots up without having to config anything.  I control it from my cell phone. Although it streams at 128k my audio would be better if I had a DAC for it. If you're into audio, this is a neat little project.

The price for the Raspberry Pi has certainly gone up.  You used to be able to get them for ~$35US.  Now I see them for over $100 for a 4 core 8 gig model.  That's kind of a bummer because I love playing with these things. I'd love to get a couple more.

That's awesome - how do you connect the Pi to your stereo system?

ralph:
At the moment it's just using an audio cable from the output of the Pi to an adapter that splits it into RCA connectors.  If I get a DAC for it, it will just use RCA cables.
