This is not the first raspberry internet radio, i know. But this one is:
- very cheap and works really good
- all functions controllable via a webinterface, your phone is the remote control
- very easy to build and operate
- portable due to the easy connection to wifi
- has a very nice MP3 player
- it has a 10 channel equalizer
- No programming or soldering skills needed.
Just buy the components, connect some wires between them and thats it!. Oh, and burn an image of the radio operating system on an sd card.
It would be a nice birthday present as it is very easy to operate. This radio has a lot of nice features. All controllable via a webinterface. There is a.o. a 10 channel equalizer, a timer and mp3player. You can easely compile 2 lists of favorite stations. Artists / Songtitles are shown on the LCD and the webpage.
