Listen up

If you want : Peter talking to OGN30 about SCANPI in mp3 format.

The scanpi has moved into a cupboard and then back out to a new place in the past week. It's so much easier to move about than the 200 vinyl, 7 boxes of tapes and 300 CD's that it has [enhanced/replaced*].

Someone (step forward Mr Chris Walker) sensibly said (and I quote) "you may want to look into Mopidy (https://github.com/mopidy/mopidy). It runs on the Pi, has spotify and local backends, and can be controlled remotely via HTTP or the MPD protocol. Might fit well with the scan -> track frontend...". He's not wrong you know, but we will need to allocate some currently non-existent time to doing that. Something for Q2 2013 methinks.

* = delete as you feel like it.
