Jukebox Pi [gav-pi19]

The thing with having all of my music on the server and being played via my home media centre is that whilst random tracks are okay at times, sometimes it's nice to select an album. I normally use a Music Player Client on my phone, which is fine... but any visitors might want easier access.

So, with a Raspbery Pi Zero 2 W, and a 7 inch touchscreen... how about a jukebox style interface?!

The board on the back of the touchscreen comes with a lot of features: Ethernet, USB ports, audio output (headphone jack and speaker header) - as well as the display at 5-point touchscreen!

Installation was simple:

1. Attach the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W to the panel.
2. 3D print the enclosure.
3. Mount the panel into the enclosure.
4. Install Raspbian to a micro SD card.
5. Put the sd card in the Pi and boot up.
6. More instructions to follow... after I've got it working!
7. Reboot and hope it works!
