Hi,

i planning to use the following pHat’s to create a standalone music player with max2play and a Raspberry Pi Zero:

Justboom DAC zero pHat
pisupply paPIrus pHat

for power supply, charge management and on/off i want to use the LiFePO4wered/Pi – shield

Therefor, i want to use the 5 hardware buttons of the papirus for
-jump folder fwd
-jump folder bck
-jump song fwd
-jump song bck
-play / pause
(these buttons are directly connected to 5 gpio pins)
-volume control is realized over the justboom encoder feature

main target is:
a headless, portable and easy-to-use music player without any use of a web interface or WiFi
with option to get the ePaper display working for song information.

I also need to:
-load the music player/playlist at startup
-autoload newly added albums to the playlist
-get a working SD-card for rPi Zero with 32-64gB

max2play is working on my Rpi zero quite good, so i want to use it for this project
Has anyone done something similar before?
How can i implement hardware buttons in max2play with python?

Hi Mohammad,

thanks for the advice. I reposted the Thread in the projects section.
Please mention that this is not a support request for specific Hats.

I’m more interested in phyton libraries, scripts for the mpd which make it possible to implement hardware control
Thanks
