Jukebox Box! In a time when everything uses displays touch and voice commands, there's something very appealing about simple gadgets. This is perhaps why the designer's handmade jukebox Chris Patty it seems to be so charming: it is controlled by cards, each of which has the artist printed on it and a picture from the album.
Dragging cards to the special device you can play the song they are recording.

Patty built the jukebox as a Christmas gift for his father when his family decided to exchange only handmade gifts this year.
Then she posted a short video of herself creations on Twitter, where he received several positive responses.
The developer said he was trying to develop open-source software with instructions for everyone to build his own jukebox.
The design of the device may seem simple, but it is not. Inside the box is one speaker που ελέγχεται από ένα Raspberry Pi, που περιέχει το λογισμικό του Patty. Όλα τα τραγούδια αποθηκεύονται τοπικά σε μια card SD and play when you slide in the corresponding card.
Patty used magstripe cards (as credit cards) because they were cheaper than NFCs.
Printing the artists' information would be costly, as Patty says, when he ended up printing self-adhesive labels for the front of each card.
This is what it looks like inside. There's a raspberry pi that runs the software, and then just a card reader in the lid. pic.twitter.com/v8QG3ZQAy4

"It has the same gloss as the cards." The cards do not contain a predefined identification code, and the software is configured to associate that code with a specific song.
"My parents have Google home and Spotify accounts, but since I gave my dad this gift, they've used it a lot more than streaming services."
