Raspberry Pi Forums

Hi everybody,
I'm pretty new to raspberry pi systems, and I have a beginning of a project:

-I want to make a raspberry module which can play any webradio (maybe using dirble api).
-This module would be connected to my house network (and to Internet) using wifi
-This module could be controlled using an android app on any smartphone connected to this network (for example to choose the webradio)
-To install it I just have to connect this module to an amplifier with a jack (or rca) and boom.

Until now, I only programmed on win32/64 platforms using C++/C#/Python and other non relevant languages.

My question: Is that possible?
If yes, could you help me a lot by giving me some bookmarks?
Thanks in advance!

Yes.

Use the normal raspbian (or any minimized version of it, if you wish) and install MPD.

You can use the on-board-analog jack for lower quality or an USB- or I2S-sound-adapter for higher.

Support for very most USB-wifi-adapters should be included in raspbian.

Lots of client-apps exists for MPD; for Android, Windows, Linux etc. ...

Hey FM81 thanks for the info,
So it seems that I probably won't need to do so much code, that's a cool project to begin with pi!
If anyone interested, once I do it, I'll post some feedback.
See you

I think this can do everything that you want:
