Pi MusicBox 0.7.0 (Release Candidate) software available here: github.com/pimusicbox/pimusicbox/releases/tag/v0.7.0RC4

Full online guide: wp.me/p7HjS6-a5

Update 6/2018: This video was originally sponsored by WD Labs, a division of Western Digital and features one of their products, the Pi Drive Node Zero. Unfortunately, WD Labs has closed down and the Pi Drive Node Zero has been discontinued.

I'm working on an updated tutorial to share with you, but until then, know that you can still create this project using any standard variety of Raspberry Pi and a connected USB drive or thumb drive. If anything, the Node Zero and its integrated storage complicated matters.

That said, I still love this project and use it daily and I recommend trying it out. -Donald
