Nice. Lots of information in here. All I need is a one button device to start the only radio I listen to. Can't be arsed going through menus on a screen to start the radio. I adhere only to fast technology. Press one low tech button to execute what I need. Start the radio without requiring more of my attention pls. I made a radio with an openwrt router ten years ago. Might be looking to reproduce the same on a raspberrypi now.
In my view radio has gone backwards in recent years. For example, it is now very difficult to find any radio with record or pause/rewind live radio. What I would like is an internet radio that will play and record the radio, be able to play MP3s from a memory device, and have a remote I can operate wit poor eyesight (ie not an app on a smart phone). Is there anyway to create such a device using a Raspberry pi?
Actually... What is the purpose, when you can achieve all that using old android smartphone? All in all one need a computer or smartphone to control this radio: change radio stations etc. Unfortunatelly old people prefer to control radio with physical buttons. This is something missing for me in this solution.
I agree with you... I don't see the purpose as well if you still control it with your phone. I see little point if you're not getting that "old time radio" feeling. A $40 Android tablet would be cheaper than this....
@@andywolan Most of good old smartphones can stream they audio out into an external DAC, even 24/192. LGs and Sony work best due to my experience. I used to listen FLACs from LG G4, G6 via external Amanero, Sound Blaster and Cambridge DACs. I could control such a player (including internet radio playback) by my regular smartphone via AnyDesk remote access
Please please please dont gut an old valve radio to fit a internet radio! The old valve radios are worth money and are only going up in price, some go for hundreds of dollars. Gutted, its worth nothing.

DAC A stands for analogue not audio. Nice project.
Cheap 12v to 5v ? What do you plug in the cigarette lighter socket in your car to charge your phone?

12:44 - Seeburg 1000 BGS, fine choice.
Love your voice just subbed
Can we use r-pi 3 in this case ???
I can use Radioboss ?
How long does it take for boot?
Depends on SD card. UHS 3 boot time -> ~20 sec (MPD,Airplay,BT, samba cli) Pi 4

All depends on what you want in the end. Using an old phone is the simplest solution, but connect a DAC to it may not be possible.
