To do this, however, I had to modify the software
running on the RPi to support an Ad-Hoc network. What
this means is the Music Player creates its own Wi-Fi
network, allowing another Wi-Fi enabled device to
connect to it wirelessly. Configuring an Ad-Hoc network is
beyond the scope of this discussion, but for those
interested, the information I used is available at
http://lcdev.dk/2012/11/18/raspberry-pi-tutorial-connect-
to-wifi-or-create-an-encrypted-dhcp-enabled-ad-hoc-network-as-fallback/.
With an Ad-Hoc network set up, I can use my iPod
Touch's browser to control the music player. Note: Since
there is no Internet available, I cannot listen to Internet
radio stations. However, with over 500 CDs available on
the 64 GB Flash drive built into the device, I never lack for
music. Why not build one of these music players for
yourself? NV
