|
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 local disk and radio streams.
|
|
Through extensions, 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 MPD and HTTP server. Additional 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 MPD or web client
|
|
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 Raspberry Pi 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 Python, JSON-RPC, and JavaScript APIs 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.
