Looking at this image: http://www.raspberrypi.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/RaspiModelB-1024x902.png let's walk through this. Can you run jack on the pi using the onboard sound card? if so, plug something like these: http://www.amazon.com/Coby-CX61-Scanner-Radio-Strap/dp/B000BICOO6 http://www.amazon.com/DPI-R100B-Potable-Scan-Radio/dp/B003EXQEUU into the pi's audio jack. (Would have to solve the power supply issue to the radio. **** Caught myself too late. The Pi's audio is out only. Right? **** So I would need either that usb tuner card with drivers or a usb audio car and one of the little FM boxes mentioned. This would mean the usb would have to handle audio duties as well as the mentioned rotter file storage duties. Connect a usb hard drive for rotter storage. Use the network as expected. So, can the pi run jack/rotter/liquidsoap/icecast2 in a reasonable fashion, feeding audio to the USB drive and sending at least one or two icecast2 streams down the network? If so, t his may fly. > > Tuner support will be an issue; you'll need to test, and board revs might > cause you trouble. > > Cheers, > -- jra all the best, drew > > ----- Original Message ----- > > > From: "drew Roberts" <z...@100jamz.com> > > To: "User discussion about the Rivendell Radio Automation System" > > <rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org> Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2014 > > 11:29:45 AM > > Subject: [RDD] Small Rotter / remote icecast box thoughts. > > Looking for ideas / thoughts / discussion / advice on: > > > > a small box to put in remote locations. > > > > it will: > > > > have a tuner card(s) or an external radio(s) > > record the input from the radio via rotter (other?) > > send to an icecast instance for remote listening. > > be low power and inexpensive. > > Hopefully be able to handle more than one station on the same box. > > > > all the best, > > > > drew > > _______________________________________________ > > Rivendell-dev mailing list > > Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org > > http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
