# Audio player DIY - Squeezebox

LMS Lyrion Music Server
Squeezebox
https://www.reddit.com/r/squeezebox/comments/lwb7tf/squeezebox_radio_replacement/


Time to DIY?

https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-3-model-b-plus/

https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/iqaudio-digiamp-plus/ (you also need a power supply for this, which will also power the Pi)

https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-touch-display/

https://smarticase.com/products/smartipi-touch-pro

https://www.picoreplayer.org/ and the Jivelite frontend (can easily be added from the web interface).

You also need a set of speakers of your choice to plug into it; the unit becomes a fully self-contained Squeezebox equivalent, with optional LMS on the device itself.

This is what mine looks like. You may want smaller speakers... though the 35 watt amp really does a solid job driving my old B&W.

https://imgur.com/a/Ub1D677

Assembling the unit is very easy. Use the Raspberry Pi Imager to write Picoreplayer 7 to a small MicroSD card (you do need an SD card reader slot somewhere) and then just screw everything together, it all just plugs together using simple instructions.
