[Noob post] smartphone controlled webradio possible?

[croustibat]

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.

To install it I just have to connect this module to an amplifier with a jack (or rca) and boom.

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

This module would be connected to my house network (and to Internet) using wifi

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

This module could be controlled using an android app on any smartphone connected to this network

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
