Mopidy
|
|
******
|
|
|
|
Mopidy is an extensible music server written in Python.
|
|
|
|
Mopidy plays music from local disk, Spotify, SoundCloud, Google Play Music, and
|
|
more. You edit the playlist from any phone, tablet, or computer using a range
|
|
of MPD and web clients.
|
|
|
|
**Stream music from the cloud**
|
|
|
|
Vanilla Mopidy only plays music from your :ref:`local disk <ext-local>` and
|
|
:ref:`radio streams <ext-stream>`. Through :ref:`extensions <ext-backends>`,
|
|
Mopidy can play music from cloud services like Spotify, SoundCloud, and Google
|
|
Play Music. With Mopidy's extension support, backends for new music sources can
|
|
be easily added.
|
|
|
|
**Mopidy is just a server**
|
|
|
|
Mopidy is a Python application that runs in a terminal or in the background on
|
|
Linux computers or Macs that have network connectivity and audio output. Out of
|
|
the box, Mopidy is an :ref:`MPD <ext-mpd>` and :ref:`HTTP <ext-http>` server.
|
|
:ref:`Additional frontends <ext-frontends>` for controlling Mopidy can be
|
|
installed from extensions.
|
|
|
|
**Everybody use their favorite client**
|
|
|
|
You and the people around you can all connect their favorite :ref:`MPD
|
|
<mpd-clients>` or :ref:`web client <http-clients>` to the Mopidy server to
|
|
search for music and manage the playlist together. With a browser or MPD
|
|
client, which is available for all popular operating systems, you can control
|
|
the music from any phone, tablet, or computer.
|
|
|
|
**Mopidy on Raspberry Pi**
|
|
|
|
The :ref:`Raspberry Pi <raspberrypi-installation>` is a popular device to run
|
|
Mopidy on, either using Raspbian or Arch Linux. It is quite slow, but it is
|
|
very affordable. In fact, the Kickstarter funded Gramofon: Modern Cloud Jukebox
|
|
project used Mopidy on a Raspberry Pi to prototype the Gramofon device. Mopidy
|
|
is also a major building block in the Pi Musicbox integrated audio jukebox
|
|
system for Raspberry Pi.
|
|
|
|
**Mopidy is hackable**
|
|
|
|
Mopidy's extension support and :ref:`Python <api-ref>`, :ref:`JSON-RPC
|
|
<http-api>`, and :ref:`JavaScript APIs <mopidy-js>` makes Mopidy perfect for
|
|
building your own hacks. In one project, a Raspberry Pi was embedded in an old
|
|
cassette player. The buttons and volume control are wired up with GPIO on the
|
|
Raspberry Pi, and is used to control playback through a custom Mopidy
|
|
extension. The cassettes have NFC tags used to select playlists from Spotify.
|
|
|
|
