Sony Tape Deck turned into music streamer with Raspberry Pi and Moode Audio

Hello!

I came to show you my little project. I was inspired by some projects I saw online of people who turn tape decks into streamers using a Samsung smartphone. I loved the idea, but I didn't like the fact that the deck lost its original purpose, so I thought, why not use a double deck to preserve one of the decks and use the other for a screen. So I used:

  1. Sony TC-WR770 tape deck

  2. Raspberry Pi 3B+

  3. 4,3" DSI LCD from Waveshare with touch

  4. SSD

  5. Some cables and accessories, more about it below

I placed jack, USB connectors on the back of the case so that I could output both analog and digital signal, and rj45 connector, because I don't fully trust WiFi to work inside a metal case. (turned out it works fine, but paranoid is paranoid). I considered adding a DAC hat to the Pi but currently I use a USB DAC, so I don't necessarily need a hat. The Pi is powered from the inside, I connected the power supply directly to the transformer - the goal was to enable Pi to work independently from the deck. I mean the deck doesn't have to be on, but it can. As an aesthetic finish I ordered a custom frame made of plexi glass. The Pi runs Moode Audio software which is very versatile in itself, it allows streaming of online radio, Spotify Connect, UPnP streaming, Bluetooth streaming and more. It can be controlled from the network and directly through the touch screen. What I wish worked are physical buttons of the deck. I know it's totally possible with Pi's GPIO, but I lack skills in both programming and electronics, so for now the buttons are idle, but who knows, maybe in the future I'd add this funcionality.

I finished putting it together this evening so I thought I'd share it with you so that we could celebrate together.
