With Spotify I now find it difficult to justify buying CDs. If like me, however you have a collection of music that you cannot get online, such as by local folk artists, you may be interested in this.

I rediscovered a couple of old Raspberry Pies that I had tinkered with years ago. Combined with an old 240Gb SSD I have used them to digitize my music. One Pi is now a Plex server sharing the music and more, and the other Pi is now a player I can place anywhere in the house. It's a bit rough and ready and I cannot add another Pi Plex player but I can play through any other network connected device.

The server is a Pi 2B running Raspbian, Samba and Plex Server. The player is a Pi 1B with a speaker plugged into the audio out running RasPlex. Not exactly cutting edge but I enjoyed doing it and getting over the obstacles :-)
