Nuts and Volts - August 2015

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

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
