Air Play using a raspberry pi

Instructions specific to OS X:

1. Download the image for Raspbian from : raspberrypi.org/downloads.

2. Install this image on the SD card using the app : app for macbook

3. Connect the raspberry pi (RPi) to your router with an ethernet cable and you should be able to ssh into it with the ip form the router's config page, which is 10.0.0.9 for me.

3. Enable wifi so that the RPi can use the WiFi Dongle. Also setup the RPi to receive DLNA content : Stephen Philips Blog

4. Connect the RPi to you speakers and install BubbleUPnP app on android to be able to play music form your phone including from mobile apps like Google Music.

5. Install a media server that streams media over the network. Now to be able to discover your RPi on the network and push DLNA content to it you would have to install another software. I Installed Plex and LINNOSS (Kinsky) to play music from my computer.

Enjoy wire-free music!
