A contactless jukebox for the Raspberry Pi, playing audio files, playlists, podcasts, web streams and spotify triggered by RFID cards. All plug and play via USB, no soldering iron needed. Update: if you must, it now also features a howto for adding GPIO buttons controls.

## 🔥 Version 3 is coming ...

Over the last few months, a few Phoniebox fans started to think about a potential future of the Jukebox code. Version 2 is mature
and works well but doesn't scale enough for future development. It's the mix of Shell, Python and PHP. The goal was to tidy up the codebase, focus on a single programming language for the core (Python), establish a solid plugin system and build a responsive web client. [Read on here if you want to learn about more reasons](https://rpi-jukebox-rfid.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).

### ☝️ Looking for early adopters, testers and contributors

We would like to invite you to try out this new version called `future3`. Let us know what you think about the new architecture, the new web application and help us find bugs (or fix them proactively).

Just a handful of features from version 2.x have been ported to version 3 so far. Specifically GPIO support is currently missing but it's in active development and soon to arrive.

If you like to try it out or contribute, check out the following references. If you post issues or pull requests on Github, make sure you label them with `[future3]`.
