Turn Your Raspberry Pi into a DIY Internet Radio

Radio has mostly moved on from adjusting antennae and tuning into frequencies, but turning your Raspberry Pi into an internet radio player brings back some of that old-school radio magic. Here's our in-depth tutorial on how to turn your Raspberry Pi into a free internet radio.

Cheap 12v to 5v ? What do you plug in the cigarette lighter socket in your car to charge your phone?

Love your voice just subbed

DAC A stands for analogue not audio. Nice project.

[@noel1637]

Nice. Lots of information in here.
All I need is a one button device to start the only radio I listen to. Can't be arsed going through menus on a screen to start the radio.
I adhere only to fast technology. Press one low tech button to execute what I need. Start the radio without requiring more of my attention pls.
I made a radio with an openwrt router ten years ago. Might be looking to reproduce the same on a raspberrypi now.

In my view radio has gone backwards in recent years. For example, it is now very difficult to find any radio with record or pause/rewind live radio. What I would like is an internet radio that will play and record the radio, be able to play MP3s from a memory device, and have a remote I can operate wit poor eyesight (ie not an app on a smart phone). Is there anyway to create such a device using a Raspberry pi?

12:44 - Seeburg 1000 BGS, fine choice.

I can use Radioboss ?

[@aniruddhagharat3773]

Can we use r-pi 3 in this case ???

[@amaze11]

How long does it take for boot?

[@fefa8708]

Depends on SD card. UHS 3 boot time -> ~20 sec (MPD,Airplay,BT, samba cli) Pi 4

Actually... What is the purpose, when you can achieve all that using old android smartphone? All in all one need a computer or smartphone to control this radio: change radio stations etc.
Unfortunatelly old people prefer to control radio with physical buttons. This is something missing for me in this solution.

[@andywolan]

All depends on what you want in the end. Using an old phone is the simplest solution, but connect a DAC to it may not be possible.

[@joesalz9963]

I agree with you... I don't see the purpose as well if you still control it with your phone. I see little point if you're not getting that "old time radio" feeling. A $40 Android tablet would be cheaper than this....

​@@andywolan Most of good old smartphones can stream they audio out into an external DAC, even 24/192. LGs and Sony work best due to my experience. I used to listen FLACs from LG G4, G6 via external Amanero, Sound Blaster and Cambridge DACs. I could control such a player (including internet radio playback) by my regular smartphone via AnyDesk remote access
