Looks nice and clean. Where is the music stored? Directly on the pi or is it also possible to play it through the local network?

rrishi2528yThe ++ was for Michael English but aside from that awesome job dude I'm going to try and program that for a hackathon let's see how far I get

@coderme I assume you could've downloaded something someone else built to just play music from the pi. I'm curious to know what custom features you wanted which led you to build the audio server with app control.

coderme6498y@KnutKnutsen directly on the pi. I originally had planned for the ability to stream in both directions, but dropped that for time constraints. Later, I will likely add in blutooth streaming to the connected device (phone or laptop, etc.) so it is a true media server instead of just a glorified mp3 player.

coderme6498y@rrishi thanks! Good luck! Yep, I will have a TON of gospel music on this baby when I am done.

coderme6498y@iLikeToast there are definitely other products out there, and good ones too. Kodi / XBMC is probably the best, but even that can't automatically catalog the music - you have to manually tag each file with the appropriate song name, genre, etc. Mine uses a python library to fingerprint the disc, then retrieves audio meta from musicbrainz.org, provided it exists.

After nine months of work, my capstone project is finally coming together.
It's an audio server written in Node.JS and MongoDB. I can run it on a pi plugged into a stereo and remote control it from my phone via the web server.
