raspberry pi idea

[jameshumphries47]

so for a while i have used my raspberry pi as a nas with a 500gb hard drive, but its not really enough so i have a better idea, i have a jukebox i made downstairs with a pi , that you can connect to via your i device and it plays songs through it i used open elec, also on the current nas i have it hooked up so i can select files and play them through my phone raspian now i need help with an idea.

i have my speakers set up connected to the pi, and i can connect my phone to the pi wireless and play songs from the harddrive connected to the pi, or i can play songs from my phone? how could i do this?

Ask in raspberry pi dedicated forum. They can help you and you will have better luck with them !

P.S: I don't know any forum. Find one by googling

My first thought is using Bluetooth. You could have it so that when the jukebox pi realizes it's connected to the Nas pi that it pulls from a certain directory you have setup (Ala music) and boom Shazam. Otherwise you hook ur phone up and you just play music through that also through Bluetooth.

With this idea both pis would need Bluetooth.

i only want to use one pi, it would be easier tho if i could use two, but yeah

You could have a physical button that chooses then maybe? Either to pull from a device or from the Nas.

There is a HUGE rasberry fanbase and numerous sites. The things people are doing with it are amazing......even ganging several together for a budget supercomputer. I don't even own one and it was fascinating reading. Wish I bookmarked it
