I really appreciate this video. It was exactly what I needed to attach a basic headless radio streamer to my nice radio at work. Thanks for the tutorial and information! For those looking for the same solution, be aware that Pi Musicbox is no longer maintained and does not work with the Zero 2 W or Pi 4, but it worked like a charm with my Pi Zero W.
Best instructions I've heard on YT. Clear, concise, and on point. I don't know much about a Rasberry Pi but I think even I could follow the instructions.
Just built it. Simplest one I tried yet and the only one that worked right out of the box, so to speak. Very clear instructions. Thank you DP. I'm disappointed that it just doesn't play the last selected stream on power up. Or is it operator error?
it's under Settings/Musicbox/Autoplay URI MusicBox can automatically start playing a stream or track at startup. The URI to use can be obtained from the Streams page, the track's popup menu, or get currently playing. e.g. stream.kissfm.de/kissfm/mp3-128/internetradio/
great video....but......technically you need a sound card as well as the speakers correct? could you also get an amplifer hat for this and just put your own speakers to it?
hi there, thanks for the vid! Instead of using the ODB cable and the usb sound card, could I use a micro sd ➡️ female headphone jack? Prevents me from buying all those cables
Very good. I have built it also.. There is only that thing with software - it has a lot functionalities but they are not all working... Is there any other software we can try with same equipment.. Ty in advance :)
Great video, Look simple and easy hope all is well. this is my first time using Raspberry pi. i followed every step in the video, cannot get it to work. am i suppose to set up / config the Pi Zero before installing the musicbox? Pi Zero w is not connecting to the wifi / network. can not find the IP address to log in to Musicbox any suggestions?
Ill give it a try, as Logitech killing its squezebox in next few days, and i have to find alternative and i have a spare pi0 and everything else. So if it will work ill save some money for buying new radio
I tried this. It does work but I can't get it to work on what I am guessing formats not supported. Is there a list of supported formats. Does anyone know of a similar project that includes a touch display or maybe a similar project with more sources for streams. Thanks
i saw your videos that was amazing i am facing a problem that my keyboard does not connect to raspberry can you tell your keyboard model or any keyboard please??
Can you help me? I cannot connect to musicbox. I can see the musicbox and ip nummer 192.168.2.52 in my router, but the browser says this site cant be reached :-(
I am stupid too...i havent seen such useles thing. Imagine, gonna to cabin, must have notebook, module has no controls bututons, even display...omg...you are right. This module can use for one radio station only, to change it, must spend half hour with computer.....really stupid idea, just 15$ + one pc only...

As cool as your instructions are I am trying to see the practicality to this, a cheap tablet connected to some speakers or even a echo dot with voice control seems more practical/easier. Thanks though.
Well, one of the main arguments will be the cost. The raspberry pi zero W costs less than a tablet. Also, it's not just about practicality. One can find it a fun little project they can begin on a raspberry pi - especially people who are just getting started with tinkering on the rpi! That's kind of the good thing about owning the raspberry pi. It's very versatile!
I do lots of diy and other projects, I just typically focus my time on things that I can't buy. Either because the cost is way too high or because it doesn't exist. I dream about something I want and create a way to bring it to reality.
So thumbail of this standalone system was clickbait?

Good project Sir, But can you add an LCD to view teh satations, I'll wait.....
Thank you, it works from Brazil
works on 3 of my Pi Zero W's! (albeit slow and kinda buggy)

Awesome ...thanks bro. I'll try it on my PI 3A+....I was searching for such tutorial.
Nice 😍😍
Will try in a day or two.
great video....but......technically you need a sound card as well as the speakers correct?
could you also get an amplifer hat for this and just put your own speakers to it?
Thank you for the video but want to add also a fm receiver so I can hear Ota channels when internet is not available any ideas?
hi there, thanks for the vid! Instead of using the ODB cable and the usb sound card, could I use a micro sd ➡️ female headphone jack? Prevents me from buying all those cables
Thank you, it works. I did it and I'm just a BFU
Can we plug a display and make it self contained radio?
is it possible to change the station from the board itself?
It's the simplest audio streaming with Raspberry Pi i hae seen so far. Doest it work with Raspberry Pi 4?
what about connect some touch screen
How about a display for the Raspberry so it will become a real Internet radio
To si musíš dodělat sám..
Nice little $4 OLED would do the job !
Very good. I have built it also..
There is only that thing with software - it has a lot functionalities but they are not all working...

Pi Zero w is not connecting to the wifi / network. can not find the IP address to log in to Musicbox
any suggestions?
The only setup you have to do is by changing the ini file to input your wifi name and password.
Can you skip the soundcard-aux if you have usb speaker (it uses the usb interface instead of 3.5 aux)??
Nice tutorial!
Thanks :)
Thx for the info
Ill give it a try, as Logitech killing its squezebox in next few days, and i have to find alternative and i have a spare pi0 and everything else. So if it will work ill save some money for buying new radio
I need a radio that does not use Reciva. I heard Reciva is shutting down at the beginning of the year.
Thi Pi doesn't have wifi module, so how it's connected to the internet, please explain, many thanks
It’s the Raspberry Pi Zero w. This has built in Wi-Fi.
Not so cheap as you say.
Only Rasp Pi zeroW make over 15$, +psu + speakers + sound card + otg cable + sd + aux cable.
Perhaps under 40$!!!
Can i combine the musicbox operation system with my Pi Hole Software. I use a Rasperry 4 with 4 GB of RAM its i little bit overkill i know
Can use it to play music from a hard drive?
I was looking for an internet radio program for a PI and much as this claims to have that function I found it almost totally useless!
Wow, great !!!
Thanks :)

Hearts comment but doesn't respond
Check out this video for a similar project: ruclips.net/video/N_kOah24hdE/видео.html
It does not support m3u, m3u8 etc..
Good job

What is that radio on the cover of your video?
i saw your videos that was amazing i am facing a problem that my keyboard does not connect to raspberry can you tell your keyboard model or any keyboard please??
You can use any usb keyboard with the raspberry pi. You can use the Logitech K120 for instance.
@@DialPixel thanks
can you broadcast this over FM from pin 7?
Sensing a mauritian accent ... 😁
So where is the part with the beautiful case from the Thumbnail? This guide is bullshit, at least it looks like it.
how do i change channel? stations?
with any browser from pc - laptop - tablet or phone on same network with your pi, or phone app like "mopidy mobile"
(android)
Can you help me? I cannot connect to musicbox. I can see the musicbox and ip nummer 192.168.2.52 in my router, but the browser says this site cant be reached :-(
Can play you tube music
It's possible use bluetooth to connect to the speaker bluetooth?
It's hard to pair, BT and Raspberry + Linux is not a good combination. If you can SSH into the pi, you technically can connect to a BT speaker.
Should "wifi_country = GB" have to be changed to US work properly in the United States? Anyone? Thank you.
I guess trying it wouldn't be a bad thing...
@@camofpv Yes, very bad. Very, very bad. :-) But I did while no one was looking. . No change on functionality. Loved ur reply..
Pi MusicBox ** This project is no longer maintained **
Can I use bluetooth speakers on Pi4?
Yes you can
Telecomxxx aha nice nice XD
is there a possibilty to stream to a bluetoothspeaker ?
Unfortunately Bluetooth isn't yet supported by Pi MusicBox. Hopefully it will be added in a future update
From the video, the system seems to be connected to a computer, why not play radio from the computer directly. You will save $ 15. May be I am stupid.
I am stupid too...i havent seen such useles thing. Imagine, gonna to cabin, must have notebook, module has no controls bututons, even display...omg...you are right. This module can use for one radio station only, to change it, must spend half hour with computer.....really stupid idea, just 15$ + one pc only...
Cant i just plug my 3.5mm aux to pi3 and have the audio that way? Why the external sound card?
Finnishmanni He used a pi zero which doesn’t have a 3.5mm jack.

Cool Projekt but it costs me 30 € in Germany :(
wifi is already a radio signal. The title is just funny.

@@DialPixel Yes, it's about the learning, the doing. Even the fastest runners started with baby steps.
BEWARE Reciva shutting down Jan 31st 2021 Your Internet radio might stop working.

Bulshit, internet radio costs 30$
THUMBNAIL CLICKBAIT, WRONG, THUMBS DOWN MATE
Or you could just get an Amazon echo on sale for $20 total 😂
true but you miss the "I made this" feeling. Also some times Less is More. you could turn it into an outdoor speaker system.
I do lots of diy and other projects, I just typically focus my time on things that I can't buy. Either because the cost is way too high or because it doesn't exist. I dream about something I want and create a way to bring it to reality.
I understand the satisfaction of building something.
Click bait!
works for my 3 pi Zero W's
Yup, yet another misleading thumbnail leading to a pointless video.
