richorama / nodejukebox Goto Github PK

A Node.js jukebox for playing music on Linux (or the Raspberry Pi).

A .NET version of this project is available here.

When the application starts it scans the file system for all MP3 files.

The application then starts a web server, which users on the same network can connect to using their smartphones or web browsers.

Users can browse the music collection and queue tracks up for playing.

Tracks in the queue are played on the machine running the web server.
