An image (SD-card) to turn the Raspberry Pi into an easy to use MusicBox with Spotify playback and AirTunes streaming
This project is no longer maintained.
There will be no more releases and probably no more support from myself. The Pi 4 and Zero W 2 do not work with the last release and I don't know of any workarounds.
Potential alternative software (in no particular order):

_ (Free?)Roon <https://roonlabs.com/>
_ (Non-free?)Have a suggestion/recommendation? Open a PR.
Pi MusicBox
Pi MusicBox is the Swiss Army Knife of streaming music on the Raspberry Pi. With Pi MusicBox, you can create a cheap (Sonos-like) standalone streaming music player for Spotify and other online music services.
This project is outdated and requires more work than I am currently prepared to invest. If you are interested in becoming the maintainer then please get in touch.

_ for details.If you want to build an image from source, note that the current v0.7 image is an incremental update of v0.6 and can be generated as follows::
# 1. Install prerequisite packages (probably not an exhaustive list, sorry....)
sudo apt-get install git coreutils e2fsprogs zerofree util-linux qemu-user-static latexmk python-sphinx
# 2. Download and unzip very latest project source files (use master.zip for current release)
wget https://github.com/pimusicbox/pimusicbox/archive/develop.zip
unzip develop.zip && mv pimusicbox-develop src
# 3. Download and unzip base v0.6 image
wget https://github.com/pimusicbox/pimusicbox/releases/download/v0.6.0/pimusicbox-0.6.0.zip
unzip pimusicbox-0.6.0.zip && mv musicbox0.6.img musicbox.img
# 4. Enlarge image so there is free space to work in
./src/makeimage.sh musicbox.img bigger
# 5. Run update script within base image (requires sudo).
./src/chroot.sh musicbox.img create_musicbox0.7.sh
# 6. Go have a cup of tea/coffee while you wait...
# 7. Shrink the image and other finishing touches
./src/makeimage.sh musicbox.img finalise
