Since the beginning of this year, I’ve been working on a Wireless Music Player. The goal of this project is play all music in a Server while you can control everything from any Client. For the controls, I used PHP because is compatible with any kind of device, from computers to handy devices.
I had to configure many things in the server to make it run without any help, so I only have to turn it on. After this, the server itself creates automatically a hotspot where an additional device can connect to and play anything. The way to play any song is so simple. At first, I have to put the songs I want in a folder (which can have subfolders). After this, I have to create playing lists and add songs. Then, I can play the full playlist.
This project is not finished at all. I would like to improve it, and add many additional features to make it more awesome. At this moment I don’t have many free time so it’s so difficult to work on it, but one of my main goals is use a Raspberry Pi and deploy this on it. This will be difficult, because as I said, I configured many things in the server side and probably I will encounter with many troubles when I want to do the same things. What a challenge!
Here is a sample video where you can see how this actually works. So simple!
