Interesting project and lots of good content on that site. If anyone is looking for a /much/ /much/ easier way to do this, try pi musicbox. Its the first project I suggest for people new to rpi because its so easy and has great results. I've had an rpi with musicbox for years and use it almost every day. Love it.

Ha, I just threw together a little project to turn my CHIP into a headless jukebox. What funny timing that I was working on this out of boredom/an excuse to actually use my CHIP and this is like 8th post on Pi/CHIP jukeboxes that's come across various feeds.

Pianobar really is a great application, and their thought to use a FIFO file as a command interface makes it incredibly easy to put a display on.

In case anyone's interested in a Websocket based front end for this[0], I built it with HTML and Node.js. There's an install script that should probably get this up and running on a Debian Jessie system in one fell swoop, but YMMV.

Also, I added a library for GPIO commands with the intent of taking it past a breadboard and putting a TFT and some tactile inputs on it.

Sadly the project hadn't seen an update in a long while (entirely my fault but you know, time...) so if the current aging release doesn't suit then I strongly recommend trying vanilla Mopidy. It's harder for a very new user to get going but it's less buggy.

I'd love to build something like this hooked into a wall mounted eink system or a larger home automation system.

I want to use eInk on so many projects, too bad it is ungodly expensive.
