HOW TO MAKE A SPOTIFY CONNECT SPEAKER WITH A RASPBERRY PI (RASPOTIFY) | TECH
I love to listen to music as I work, but my old hifi only accepts an RCA auxiliary input. First prize would be a Google Chromecast Audio, but these are no longer available.
Next best thing...a Raspberry Pi running Raspotify!
In this video I used a Raspberry Pi Model B 2.1 (one of the early models), along with an old 8GB SD card and an old 1A 5V power supply. Unfortunately I didn't have a USB WiFi module, but I did have an ethernet port.
Something left out of the tutorial linked below is that it is important to enable SSH access to the Raspberry Pi so you can access it as a headless device (no keyboard or mouse) for initial setup. Do this by creating a file called ssh in the root directory of the SD card (basically, just open the SD card and create it there). I found it easiest to create a .txt file, and then just delete the .txt extension afterwards.
You will need to download the following:
OS for Raspberry Pi. I used Raspbian.
https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads...
Disk imaging tool to load the ISO to the SD card. I used Etcher.
https://www.balena.io/etcher/
SSH client. I used PuTTY.

This entire project takes around an hour to complete.
