Now we have talked on occasion about the Raspberry Pi, a miniature computer and low cost with which lovers of electronics projects enliven the most surprised. Today we return to talk about this computer is that the user of a Raspberry Pi has successfully modified a classic cassette player to play the songs in Spotify tapes using a Raspberry Pi .
Yes, although it may sound like a joke, it is a project entirely true. Allowing this invention is that nothing introduce a cassette tape in the player, the songs on the cassette tape start playing on Raspberry Pi via Spotify. What's the catch?Although outside the cassette player has a perfectly normal appearance, inside has been completely changed. Inside is the Raspberry Pi, so that when you insert a tape inserted, it is responsible for reading the information on the tape. To do this, each of the tapes contains an NFC tag music with song information including label that is read by the Raspberry Pi using a NFC reader . Once this is done, thanks to MusicBox application responsible -a connect with Spotify- finds that there is a playlist of songs from the cassette tape on Spotify and start playing it.
Despite the complexity of the project, its director says it completed in two or three weeks. We leave you with a video in which the operation of the project is shown below:
