Here's a quick parts list for this project with links. (Yeah, like I need another audio player). In fact I had a Raspberry Pi 3 with a Raspberry Pi Official Touch Screen that wasn't doing anything so I thought I'd put Jivelite on it and make another audio player. I found the newer repositories, fixed my web page and got a passing interest back in Jivelite again. I dare ya.Īnyway I was helping someone work through my Jivelite web page on their installation and the guy working through it pointed out some information that was no longer relevant as some repositories have been archived and some links moved which in turn caused him to seek some assistance. However try installing Jivelite on a Raspberry Pi with one USB port sometime. I've tried PiCorePlayer in the past and as a genuine Linux geek I always poo-poo'd it because it was too easy. To date it has been my most "successful" web page and it was essentially installing Jivelite the "hard way".īut because it is Open Source now others have taken the project to the next level. I made a couple of them and started my documentation process here. To make things even cooler a project called Jivelite sprung up which turns a Linux computer with a touch screen into a Squeezebox Touch. The good news is that when Logitech ditched their device line of Squeezeboxes they made their media server Open Source and the community ran with it and made it a great little project for lots of platforms and especially for the Raspberry Pi. That is one thing that many media player did not implement very well.the ability to sync perfect playback across multiple devices.Īnyway in a world where nobody cares about sound anymore and the main method of delivery for music is a telephone with a pair of designer headphones the Touch didn't stand much of a chance of being a commercial success. Paired with LogitechMediaServer which you can sync with other players giving you a whole house audio experience.
The Touch was loved by audiophiles for its touch screen interface and great DAC. Once upon a time there was an awesome audio device called the Squeezebox Touch from Logitech.
