Build an internet radio with an old Raspberry Pi 3 leveraging the Music Player Daemon (mpd).
The ultimative goal is to refurbish a beautiful old radio from the 1930’s.
I intend to tell more about this radio in an upcoming post, but - spoiler alert - I can already tell that the original radio mechanism is probably beyond repair. The most feasible way seems to build a new device inside the old radio and bind the original buttons to the new platform, to control things like switching the power on and adjusting the sound volume.
