Okay, I'm intrigued. Are the custom built RFID cards physical manifestations of albums which you can use to select and play a given album hosted with Navidrome? I'd love to see your setup/some examples.

Yes, exactly! The goal was to make my digital collection physical. So a bunch of cheap RFID cards and a label printer. You can browse through cards and place them on an RFID reader hooked up to a raspberry pi (and my stereo) and it plays the full album.

I have found it is great when people are over as everyone gets to dig through a huge collection of cards and take turns playing their favorites.

I wrote some customer software but it is pretty basic. Basically read the ID of a card and play the corresponding album.
