Open source media player to connect two devices. One as a player, and other as the DJ.

DropTune : Over-the-Air Music Player

Ever wanted to play music in your TV or Music System that does not support over-the-air, but you are too lazy to write songs into a USB?

Well, DropTune is your buddy here.

Upload songs from one device and have it played in another device.

"Inspiration"

I had a Raspberry Pi 2 Model A which had no Wi-Fi module but can connect to internet by using tethering from an old Nokia. But the internet was slow, and the Pi cannot handle quite heavy pieces of software. Hence, this.

Synopsis

DropTune has two modes: DJ and Player, to drop a song for playback, and to play the dropped song, respectively.

Prerequisites

Requires python3 and pip3 installed in the Laptop/PC.

Troubleshooting

If the page doesn't load in your browser after 15-20 seconds, press reload

If it still doesn't, close the terminal that opened when you launched the launch.bat / launch.sh.

Open a fresh terminal in the folder and type

For Linux

python3 manage.py runserver 6969

For Windows

python manage.py runserver 6969

And then try the URL that comes after it loads.
