I’ve been getting friendly with the Raspberry Pi Zero for audio applications and I discovered some great new boards just before Christmas by Pimoroni that include a DAC, a screen and some buttons. My son loves his music but is at that age that if you give him a device to play Spotify on he will just fiddle with the device so I wanted to give him a Spotify player without the distractions and something he can have a little party with his friends. I came up with this little boom box in gold and black that displays the album art and gives you volume control, play, pause and skip buttons, is USB rechargeable has great sound quality, is pretty loud and has a long battery life. I can select a playlist on my phone and then he can take it away. Also clear front panel so he can check out all the circuitry and room for adding some more buttons and faders!
