Requires mpg321

the plan

  • Queue builder

    • Queue builder runs every minute, checking for requests and building a queue.
    • If a request has come in, add it to the queue.
    • If a priority request has come in, add it to the front of the queue.
    • If a jingle is due, add it to the front of the queue.
    • If a priority jingle is due, stop the current song and play it now.
    • If less than n songs in the queue, add a song to the queue.
    • Check the GPS, if a location based song is appropriate add it to the front of the queue.

  • Player

    • Runs in an endless loop
    • Pick the track from the front of the queue, play it, remove it from the queue

history

  • Force the analog output of the pi; amixer cset numid=3 1
