Katie’s Record Player

the original raspberry pi record player project that plays music through a spotify connected device

my github repo:

GitHub - declankra/raspberryPiRecordPlayer: A raspberry pi controlled spotify player connected to your home speaker


disclaimer: in order for playback to work, the output device always has to be connected to Spotify i.e. showing up on ‘Spotify Connect’ devices

how does that happen?

  1. same wifi network
  2. device always stays “on/connected”
    1. or not, found work-around for amazon echo dot 4 device
