In this Raspberry Pi Volumio tutorial, we are showing you the basics of installing the headless music player, Volumio. We will also be walking you through how to get Wifi up and running on your Raspberry Pi through Volumio’s interface. Additionally, the tutorial also shows you the steps to go through to install and setup Volumio’s Spotify plugin.
Volumio is an open source, headless music player that is designed to be able to play almost every single music file, providing support for MP3, FLAC, WAV, AAC, ALAC, DSD and many more. In addition to support of a large variety of audio codecs it also provides support for UPNP\DLNA, Airplay, Spotify and Web Radios making it an all in one audio player. This project is very similar to the Pi music box that I covered in an earlier tutorial.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
I’ve been ssslllooowwwlllyyy working on a Pi zero W based internet radio (first experimenting on a Pi 3B). My current next step is to either get PWM sound working on the Zero or find a cheap USB sound card that works decently (my first $2 one has far too low volume output for any of my amplified speakers).
Another feature I’d like to add to it is HD radio receive but the only HD radio chips I’ve found so far are unmounted SMDs and I don’t have the equipment to work with that, and the only chips I’ve found on breakout boards are analog radio only.
