My jukebox

💿 Play music on speakers using NFC tags.

🚧 For the moment:

• artist, album and URI must be pre-populated in a JSON file
• only works with Spotify URIs
• as soon as the NFC tag is removed, the music pauses, then resumes when the NFC tag is replaced

Install

Installing dependencies with Poetry

poetry install

Add SONOS_HOST to env with IP address of your Sonos Zone Player. To do this you can use a .env file with poetry-dotenv-plugin

Create a library.json file (cp sample_library.json library.json) and complete it with the desired artists and albums.

{
  "library": {
    "artist a": {
        "album 1": "uri",
        "album 2": "uri"
    },
    "artist b": {
        "album 2": "uri"
    }
  },
  "tags": {…}
}

Usage

app.py

Show help message

poetry run python jukebox/sonosplayer.py --help

Play a specific album

poetry run python jukebox/sonosplayer play --artist "Your favorite artist" --album "Your favorite album by this artist"

Artist and album must be entered in the library's JSON file. This file can be specified with the --library parameter.

nfcreader.py

This script works with an NFC reader like the PN532 and NFC tags like the NTAG2xx. It is configured according to the Waveshare PN532 wiki.

Complete the tags part of the library.json file with each tag id and the expected artist and album.

{
  "library": {…},
  "tags": {
    "ta:g1:id": {"artist": "artist a", "album": "album 1"},
    "ta:g2:id": {"artist": "artist a", "album": "album 2", "shuffle": true},
  }
}

Start the script (show help message with --help)

poetry run python jukebox/nfcreader.py

🎉 By approaching a NFC tag stored in the library.json file, you should hear the associated music begin.
