Long-time readers of Nuts & Volts may recall that I have covered Internet radio topics
a couple of times in the past. My first build was based on a repurposed Wi-Fi router
and was described in the article, "Build Your Own Wi-Fi Internet Radio" in the March
2012 issue. With the arrival of the Raspberry Pi (RPi), I updated (and simplified) my
approach and documented that in the article, "More Raspberry Pi Anyone?" in the
August 2013 issue. These systems have served me well over the past few years, but
when I stumbled across the Pi MusicBox software for the Raspberry Pi, I knew I had
to revisit this again. The Pi MusicBox software combined with a RPi (B+ or Pi 2 B)
makes for an incredibly flexible music system. I truly cannot envision a system much
more flexible than this.
