This is a lot like a project I have been working on: https://github.com/thomasrynne/swisher which uses cheap RFID readers and a raspberry pi. Does anyone know how this one works? Re vinyl: It takes longer to choose a song, records can get scratched and take up more space. My intention was to try to make the best interface to play music. Now that the media is digital there are less restrictions on the physical interface but I think tangible items associated with each track/radio station is still good. |

I currently use an RPi running xbmc to handle all my media playback.
For videos I have no concern about plonking down on the couch and having to "drive" through the menus to get something playing, since I'm going to sit there and watch it anyway.
For music.... it bugs me greatly. xbmc has a wonderful interface and I have album art set up for my music collection, but since I'm normally putting music on because I'm doing something else (cooking, cleaning, juggling, workout, etc) having to "drive" through menus annoys me so much.
A set up like this is exactly what I need. Thanks!
