What is the missing link here? All I want is harddrive audio

>>1209421
To be clear, I am looking for what kind of software package I would need.

>>1209421

there used to be a front end called frodo that or look for car pc front end software

why are you using usb for audio instead of just taking audio from the miniav
do you have any idea what you are fucking doing
all you need is something with buttons (like a usb keyboard), something to connect the hdd (or ssd as pictured) to the raspi or a different sbc with sata, then any audio player with keybinds
if you want to use the cars controls then good luck, you might have bluetooth control if you're lucky

oh this is /diy/ not /g/ im sorry anon

Do you really need SSD or HDD? You have no interface, so you can't specify what you want to play except randomly. a USB flash drive or SD card would be better. (your image is lacking how you power the whole thing)

At that point, you can just get a portable media player for $10 and connect the headphone jack to your AUX input. Without a LINE OUT or amp, you'll have to jack up the volume, but this is a simple solution that gets the job done.

I haven't dealt with car audio for several years, so I don't think you'll be able to directly interface through your car's controls. But on that note, I'm assuming your car audio doesn't have bluetooth integration with your smartphone, because that would be the easiest solution.

What OP needs is a touch screen display. They make some designed for the Pi. Also why are you using a SSD? Do you really have that much music? If so, it might be easier to use a USB external harddrive. Just make sure it's powered by USB and it's required amp doesn't exceed the max output for the Pi's USB ports.

not OP, but the onboard audio chip has RF interference from the CPU. Makes a lot of noise when I put in my headphones. I've since started using a USB DAC and that remove the whining and whirring.

You could also use something like this to transmit audio through FM radio waves directly to the radio.

why the heck are you using a $300 SSD instead of a $50 seagate portable one and just connecting your phone to it via usb and then your phone to the stereo via aux?? or just getting a replacement stereo with a usb connection.

>>1209466
this is what I was talking about, it's powered via usb and also does the data transfer through it, so all you need is to connect it to the stereo.

I don't want to go all slingblade, but CD-R's are super cheap...

What i use to have was just a ipod that i replaced the harddrive in and left in the car unless i added new music, the classics are great for large collection/high bitrate thanks to having 160gb harddrives

Gotta go fast.

And furious.

Why the balls aren't you just using your phone and an aux cable?

Wat.
Are you.
Doing!

Probably for the shock resistance.

Sound quality is terrible with those

if the audio system supports usb storage devices just format the hdd to fat32 and it'll pick up as a usb.

>If it can communicate with the infotainment center
if you've already got a semi modern infotainment system then it should be able to communicate with an android OS via bluetooth
so either run android on the pi or if that's not possible for whatever reason buy an odroid or any other sbc that does
