Everyone loves listening to music while working or in their free time so today we are going to have a look at the Best Music Players for Ubuntu which you must try. Now there are thousands of applications available for various Linux distributions which was not the case a few years back. Hence developers are working on new applications for the Linux platform all the time.

Thanks.The popularity of Linux is increasing rapidly and so the number of Linux users is too. The Raspberry Pi Foundation keeps the costs low by not having additional functionality which each use case may not require. It seems amazing the functionality/price ratio for these systems on a chip (SOC) devices. I had to wait on vendors mailing lists until they were back in stock. This $5 Zero version 1.3 isn't easy to purchase. Waiting on some Kickstarter Pi DAC that can provide a SPDIF input (Please don't tell me about the Cirris Logic DAC, way too complicated).

I assume I can get a DAC solution with much higher quality, I just haven't seen the right solution for my purposes yet. The very inexpensive USB music card has both audio output and microphone input. Raspberry Pi Zero ver 1.3 Running Music Box ServerДЄs far as the music quality is concerned, it is OK. I assume I could automate the process of running Banshee and automatically playing if necessary. It shuffles the songs, and I get to listen to a random selection of my own music. I click on the Banshee program and wait until it is fully loaded by watching processor utilization. Turning the plug-strip on boots up the Zero and goes into desktop mode. The power is managed by a plug-strip with monitor, high amp output USB power and the USB hub power. The hard drive, Zero and USB hub with peripherals use only 4 watts of power.Д¤ watts of power used for music box server without monitor. I have checked the power usage, it is 37 watts with the monitor, and 4 watts without. The monitor, wireless keyboard and mouse can be removed from the setup once the music is playing and in shuffle mode. The Raspberry Pi Zero has a HDMI mini to standard plug which the monitor is plugged into. The red wire is the analog music which delivers the music to my stereo amplifier. The hard drive USB data cable is connected to the USB data hub (red light in above photo) which also has a wireless keyboard, wireless trackball mouse and USB audio card.

That is connected to the USB power cord, which then sends the power to the Raspberry Pi Zero. That hard drive is shown in the photo above. I don't consider this hard drive cost associated with the music server because it is a backup archive. You can get any storage device you choose, not endorsing the WD hardware. I put them all onto a $35 hard drive for archiving, the Western Digital PiDrive with 314 gigs of storage, of which about 200 gigs is used by the FLAC file storage. I now have many music folders, and 7,000 music files to choose from that were originally my CD music collection. Here is the music box server story.Д«usy photo showing Raspberry Pi Zero (lower right) and other peripherals.ДЄ few years ago I ripped all my music CD's to FLAC files, a lossless format that I thought would be good for future use. I can't say that I understand all the Banshee functionality, but it seems to work for this particular application.

I like Banshee music player because it has a graphic equalizer and has an Android phone app for remote control.

If I had one more USB available, I could remote control the Zero music using WiFi. My only issue with the Zero is limited USB ports. It is loaded on a 16 GB microSD card which boots the Zero. I am using a standard Raspbian Jessie operating system that was originally built on the Raspberry Pi 3, but works in the Zero with no issues. This Blog post is about using the Zero 1.3 version to host a music library and shuffle songs to a stereo for listening. This has all been tinkering, figuring out how low cost internet of things computers like the Raspberry Pi family can be put to good use. After posting about the uniqueness of the Raspberry Pi 2 last year, I have purchased a 3 and a Zero.
