LP Streamer

Stream your Vinyl LP player to your wireless speakers.

Installation on Raspberry Pi

Download the latest Raspian image from raspberrypi.org and flash it to an empty sd-card.

Create an empty file ssh on the boot partition, and configure your wlan credentials by creating a wpa_supplicant.conf file:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=US

network={
  ssid="The name of my WiFi"
  psk="your-network-WPA/WPA2-security-passphrase"
  key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}

If your wifi doesn't have a password, switch the network= part to:

network={
  ssid="The name of my WiFi"
  key_mgmt=NONE
}
