Here's the hassle free way to make your raspberry pi play your music files over FM-radio!



Skip to the next step if you are in a hurry ;)



For a couple of days I have been messing around with PiFM, and I absolutely love having my own radio station.

So far I've gotten about 50m range outside, not much, but certainly enough to broadcast at and around home. It is possible to improve the range drastically by adding filters and signal amplifiers , but broadcasting with that kind of range is illegal without a license -.-

Yup, pifm is awesome!!! But its a little impractical to use, you have to convert every different format and its troublesome to write the long one-liners over and over. It's just not practical to use if you're outside controlling it from your phone via ssh.



I wanted it to be as easy to use as the programs aplay and play, so I made PiFMPlay :D



PiFMPlay is here to make it easier to control your PiFM-radio broadcast.



I DIDN'T make PiFM! Kudos and thanks to icrobotics :D

I DID make the PiFMPlay script, and it's on github. Feel free to fork it from there: https://github.com/Mikael-Jakhelln/PiFMPlay



Now, lets get to it!
