Running a Pi with Bluetooth could be the way to do this, especially as pCP 3.50 now includes Bluetooth support ... but you would still need a way to navigate to choose the music to play. Presumably you want to use the built-in screen in the car and the dash/steering wheel controls.
A really nasty hack that might work ... Get a Raspberry Pi Zero W. Use the Wifi part to access your network when at home ... and the Zero W can have its single USB port switched to Gadget Mode and then emulate a mass storage device (USB disk). Problem with this is that there is only one port available and if you use it like this then you will not be able to plug in a USB disk to hold your music. So - the rest of the SD card could be used to store music. You could run a script on the RPi Zero when you get home that fetches music from your home network and then convert it to MP3 as you store it to the SD card. Easier would be to get a USB disk and carry it between car and home ... and then plug it in at home when you have new music to move over and do the translation to MP3 on the PC which would be faster than the RPi0 Paul Webster http://dabdig.blogspot.com Author Radio France (FIP etc) plugin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Paul Webster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=105 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108853 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
