How To Make A Cheap WiFi Radio

[wxrodrigues]

big deal bluetooth speakers and a wifi phone or a wifi radio easy to make

[aqueducthunters]

Helps if you know quite a bit about UNIX and the vi editor.

If someone's never typed [ESC], Capital ZZ in their life, then this video isn't for you!

[awesomeeder]

SOUND QUALITY IS SHIT

[cheesemarathon]

this is stupid from what I can see you have to have your pc on to play the music so why not just get the music on line on your pc MIND FUCK

[jpng81]

lolol, this is ridiculous... the router costs more and is very complicated to configure than those first devices.... this is ridiculous.

[MrKeenius]

I remotely control my radio, tv, the dishwasher, laundry, and the trash all from my couch and without the use of my smartphone. Kids are easier to program.

[tylerlikeschicken]

How to get a wifi radio!!!

Go to your laptop

connect to wifi

Find a website that has live radio

Easy !! ;)

[MrKeenius]

I didn't get past step 42, let me know how you did it that far!

[movieshop1000]

sorry, I did not understand step #178

can you please explain that one more clearly?

[anthony123beanie]

UHHH  what?

[TheDD563]

WTF....or you can just buy a wifi radio .......

[09dibya]

range please

[qusaisaher]

change the music! :(

[queenday15]

this is hardcore for me

How To Make A Cheap WiFi Radio in just 1000 easy steps.

1:30 Bill Gates

[9piecewood]

@xXmahriXx So you thought you could make it out of sticks and a rock?

[vermalife85]

its teh awesomest work....  :P

[jackmarshak]

Too much bullshit to go through just to listen to the fucking radio. Buy a Roku and use TuneIn, Pandora or shoutcast or...since you are still in the house USE THE FUCKING COMPUTER!

[iRouRoui]

A router is a computer ? WTF ?

[supabunny]

@iRouRoui that's kinda obvious. they even have their own specialized operating system. many gadgets are just tiny computers

[seebaastian]

@iRouRoui Yes... The little router that you have in your home may be running a really small Linux distribution named BusyBox that makes everything possible. OpenWRT ((the distribution that he uses) use Busybox. Everything in less that 4 MB of memory and 32 MB of RAM.

[wescoolya]

yeah id rater pay 40$ more to get an actual one and not do all the work.

[TheMicrOXL]

Works for me! Great tutorial!

[alan517815]

@TheMicrOXL CHEAP

[sheltiemanva]

Too bad, with all the convenience in the world, so few people are concerned with any kind of quality in sound.

MP3's, as a rule, sound like ass.

Anything below 256 is unlistenable...and even that is about FM radio quality at best.

I would prefer having a nice D/A converter wired to my stereo...and if I want to do web music, I will download FLACS like a real audiophile.

[Gregtier3]

Good info! Audio quality is limited by USB vs S/PDIF or other digital connections. The USB "soundcard" will be important, a cheap one will pretty much limit you to a mediocre sound quality. Many USB DACs are limited to 16 bits / 48 kHz max. Do not confuse (USB 1,2 or 3) and the USB audio standard (1 or 2). USB Audio Class 1 (1998) allows for 24 bits / 96 kHz max. Windows does not natively support USB audio class 2. 3rd party USB class 2 driver on Windows is req. Search: "intro computer audio"

[Larry198s]

too much info,

[MrBradydennis]

Damn autoword, *flaming*

[MrBradydennis]

This is GREAT!! A lil hard to find the kernel used here but not impossible. IF YOU ARE READING THIS AND DON'T UNDERSTAND LINUX COMMAND LINE KEEP MOVING!! No sense flanging this guru because you burn popcorn in the microwave!

[RockstarPresident]

i want to build wifi radio inernet...should i build my own server..or i can use another server which built by anyone?..maybe like directly acsess shoutcast

[29richo]

Too many steps!!!!!!!

[theGA735]

easy! O.o

[mutmataco]

under 50 bucks plus 200 hours of your life programming plus the added stress of trying to figure this shit out! i think i'll just get the bluetooth reciever with headphone jack!

[kamek1986]

@mutmataco

Such a bullshit could write only someone, who has never programming. Its only configuring and should last less then 30 minutes. Everything is said clearly. There are only few steps, but for you this is too much. Really sad.

[mihithakankanamge]

@mutmataco This video is not for you mate..!!!

[terryhargen]

bluetooth receiver with headphone jack - $25

bluetooth dongle - $10

instant wireless speakers

[tomsega]

Of course it'd be cool for someone to own that router, that USB sound card and a radio to begin with and cunningly put it all together. However, if you don't happen to have all those things already, makes far more sense to just buy a fucking WiFi radio!

[pspheaven]

@tomsega What part of this is cheaper don't you understand?

[mcontherocks]

i was able to do this on my old Apple Airport Extreme, and it works like a charm

[BurritoBazooka]

This tutorial seems too fast paced, especially for people not experienced with the Linux command line... is it written down somewhere?

[SuckXmyXchickeN]

That was easy

[xXmahriXx]

so at first I was like :-D

then I was like ... O_o

[shreddez]

I just use a C Crane FM transmitter II - It was like sixty bucks and I can broadcast a quality FM signal all around my house and property. Any audio - my records or audio streaming from the internet.

[shreddez]

there are much easier and cheaper ways of accomplishing this.

[TehNaylor]

haha, making your average youtuber learn to use Vi.

[uwndrd]

I'd like to have cheap wifi radio, but this shit is just too complicated

[PostiveMindBodySoul]

Not really wireless because you have to keep this plugged in with ethernet and you don't get a interface directly on the radio. I have seen something better and is cheaper, and sell on ebay for less than 15 that is wireless and requires no ethernet cable. Its called a wireless music bridge, basically what you made a video of here, brand is linksys wmb54g if anybody is looking for wireless printer and don't want to pay the money linksys sales a wireless print server wpsm54g.

[MegaDamnAge]

Can I make the same stuff with my d-link DIR-320 router? My has an usb port, too and dd-wrt interface, so, it's like yours. Please respond

[jamiejamiew]

0:36 i made a lot of people laf by saying no

but i did't meen it

[techguy3000]

Why not just play the music from your computer, connect the 3.5mm to the speakers, and go online and stream radio?

[jgq85]

What kind of video editing software do you use here?

I'm wanting to use something like it for creating in-house training guides at my job!

[PhobiaGuy]

OR just buy a £5 radio and just listen to it!

Jesus, you boffins can't just listen to music, you always gotta mess with stuff, no wonder people don't invite you to parties!

[ForsakenThirteen]

@PhobiaGuy You, sir, do not have the heart of a DIY'er.

You must leave this video or risk immediate flaming.

Fking trolls...

[PhobiaGuy]

@ForsakenThirteen Buddy, i've built electronic gadgets for 35 years, but i know when to just listen to music and not concentrate on my soldering iron, smell the roses man!

[ForsakenThirteen]

@PhobiaGuy Maybe it's because you're tired of that, but we're not because we're new to this? It depends on what you work at. I don make gadgets and electronics for a living, so I find it fun to wake up, do a little bit, then watch TV, then the next day, do a little bit more until it's complete. I'm not going to take on 10 projects in one week.

A McD's worker won't eat at McD's simply because he's sick of seeing so much food. Get what I'm saying?

[PhobiaGuy]

@PhobiaGuy nice metaphor, a point well made! and you know something? you're right, my comments were based on what you said, i've kinda had my time with electronics, i now just want the simple life (a £5 radio) so will you accept a humble apology from a fluxed out solderer?

I do miss the 'buzz' from getting something to work though!

Have fun getting your buzz guys!

[JesseDegenerate]

"pretty cool right?"

no. you don't need more than 20% of what you listed to do the job, and it sucks. Make a airplay speaker (which would enable multiple speaker etc.) and i would be impressed.

[Timocop110]

Make a Computer into a cool car! yeah!

[BarbieBoy1997]

May I be excused? My brain is full.

[BarbieBoy1997]

ouch, my head hurts...but thanx.

[RSterkenburg]

This project isn't about having a web radio, it's about building the entire rather complex project yourself, with your own hands.

[gekozz1]

why not just connect a stereo to your xbox360 and use last.fm

[tanque123]

wow



[ollafed]

Make a video on how to install satellite radio into a regular radio

[nuby64]

pandora is nice to



[nuby64]

or you could use youtube



[thesploder]

I did it easily, I had my laptop connected to the stereo with a very cheap HD cable. On my PC I installed iTunes and on my iPod Touch and the remote application. If I let you play music on my iPod comes from my stereo

[liquidus2172]

umm i think I'll buy the $90 one.

[ScienceTutorials]

On the Descrippy below :)

[colt2056]

WTF!



[33wwfVlog]

wow this is nerd comedy

[52779able]

y must everything b so hard

[timeforLoLz]

discripy below...  LoL

[sockmonkey449]

man i still listen to cassette tapes and im still a teenager . i feel weird

[Fa6ade]

Tbh I think I'll just use iTunes with my iPhone remote

[Tsoliassssssssssssss]

coming up: "How to make a WiMAX radio"

[HugMyNutz]

this is retarded, you have to spend 2 days on this

[TheBlacksabbathfan9]

It is ace-us not a-suse

[Aviator14]

Couldn't you just get an FM transmitter and plug it into your PC which has the streaming internet and then tune it in with a standard AM/FM radio

[loojunhui]

subscribed!

[sam9072000]

Descriptpy

[TheFiscster510]

LIKE THIS IF YOU NOTICED A SYNTAX ERROR IN HIS INTRO VIDEO!!!!

[franalvacad1]

OR you can just spend about $50 more and buy an Airport Express

[bluntley420]

Do we have to use that router or can't i just use the one I've got.

How bout can I use my internet the same or is that over too?

[haz939]

Wow very nice idea but loads of room for errors and mistakes

[brickman409]

if you can control it with your smart phone why not just get pandora mobile?

[MrCrowart]

think i may just buy a ready to go device !

[baller4life4964]

You lost me at $50... :(

[246ruben810]

can you make this for a tv???????

[cvbbot]

DUDE, y u no has happy face?!?!?

[christhemaxx]

I 've made this with another firmware called gargoyle router. The advantage of that i f/w is that it has a full router management web interface ;)

[MatthewScottB]

what is your theme song usic? it is so cool!

[TheFatdemon2]

haha command line crap

[Habbloxian]

@TheFatdemon2 echo Just because the only command you can only echo.

[Evilmarioclone]

????????????????????????/

[ThatGuyFromDK]

So there isn't an easier way?!?

@gigafide

[MrMitchistheman]

so do you do have to have a usb ported wireless router

[NiteAngel]

lol the woooops are to loud

[TheComputerNerd0101]

why the f*** is 720p faster than 240p?

[therandomawsome]

@TheComputerNerd0101 The 240p server is more packed than the 720p server. The different qualities are ran on different machines.

[jimmayl1]

I'd suggest that people unfamiliar with VI use the nano editor.

[therandomawsome]

I'm going to do something like this... I got the router! I'm going to hack it, and try to do whatever I can do with the hacks.

[1999PANOS]

Hello. I have a spare "Fritz! Box Fon WLAN 7140 router and I would like to turn it to a wifi radio. What firmware of Open WRT should I download??? By the way, I need the firmware file in .image cause that's what this router needs. Could you help me please??? Thank you.

[AMatte18]

wow too much work you could just running a long speaker wire from your computer to the speakers then press play on my computer...

[ZirixZero]

@AMatte18 That's for lazy pussies.

[jonejaraunak99]

I have a couple of questions,

firstly, can this stream wifi radio only or can i add mp3 songs also,

secondly, would I still be able to use the router for connecting to the internet after the hacking is done?

[kevinmack18]

@xunil3 I'm experiencing the EXACT problem. Did you resolve your issue?

[billgatesjr1109]

Can someone tell me what song played at 6:59

[nubbin]

Has anyone solved the problem where all of their music comes out as a continuous "beep" or sine wave? I can't get past that problem, or find a solution.

[smidth123]

@nubbin The USB sound card that is shown in the video is most likely the problem(if you followed all other steps correctly). I got a plantronics usb sound card and it works perfectly.

[mentebizarra]

@nubbin Did you solved this problem? or you are still looking for an answer?

[devinder55555]

screw that shit

[teeth03]

Is there anything like a Wifi remote you can use to control this? If there is, that should be your next video

[pkai21]

his windows xp have aero effects

[abzosairis]

this video shows, that if u dont have the money to buy those expensive gadgets. Then ur knowledge will give it to you. It may sound bad. But if u use ur homemade amplifiers then maybe it will giv a better sound.

[wyo7011]

I'll just pay $150 and plug it in. Cool project though.

[DRUMKIND]

CHEAP NOT EASY¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[411480u7me]

simple?...wow

[GG12121212121]

before you make another video please kill yourself first

[comjuka]

DAMN!!! MY HEAD JUST EXPLODE!!!

[lol9392]

*shows a picture of bill gates* moohahahahahahaha! lol

[luzmirez]

hey hello is posibol whit netgear residential gateway cg3100d rg this router have por usb

[bvestationfan]

usb sound is only 15 cents lol

[ilife11]

all right thats enough for the command line crap LOL

[sagirashish]

or... you can buy an Apple AirPort Express for the retail price of the hardware mentioned, and use the built in air tunes feature which will also allow you to control it using a mobile device.

[jwnordquist1]

ok ummm make a universal executable that you tell us to download and it will magically do all that for us? ...you will do this because your supper chill like that!

[bardaso]

am lost!! I must disconnect the power electricity for a minute right?? :)

[arthursrodrigues]

Guys, I do everything, but when it is to "opkg update" it says: mightyohm is bad address :( and I can open it here!

HELPPPPPPPPPPPPP

[latdan2008]

@DanielChristy19 he's been hacked again

[sethboy66]

what happened to all the names on his videos

[mpmdzoomas]

1:30 Why put Bill Gates with the devil picture here?

[stoperos]

or you can buy wifi music station for about same price as your project :)

[psp10004]

can i use a thomson tg784, it has a usb port..

[Skibble5150]

Maybe that is why they sell them in the store. So you don't have to listen to this guy for 10 minutes explaining 217 steps!!!

[adambunion]

i'd rather spend $200 rather than go through all that

[BobbyRCane]

It's as easy as 1, 2, 3! ...4, 5, 6, 7, 8...

[00011theman]

@BobbyRCane 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27...*2 hours later* 899...

[1337darkphoenix]

@BobbyRCane na kurcu te nosam

[lbevanda]

@1337darkphoenix nek si ga pronoso :-)

[Pruxii]

insufferable douche.

[FromThe3PointLine]

simple stuff

[fgg16]

Is there an easy way to add controls directly on to the radio? So that the original knobs change stations, and volume, ...

[MarkyMarkEckstein]

you know windows fucking pwns OS X any day of the week

[MrSparrow118]

pause before 28 sec. Can't hold back that smile

[tuti1976]

Worked great. Nice tutorial and Thanks !!!

[cnorth5863]

i did everything step by step, and checked settings twice. i can connect with ario but when i play a stream all i hear is a constant beep. i am stuck. Any ideas? I got the same exact sound card that you linked to on amazon.com. Any help is appreciated..."I must free the music from my router"

[kevinmack18]

@cnorth5863 I have the same issue. Did you get this resolved?

[JOHNLOBO789]

Hi gigafide

can you please make a tutorial

on HOW TO CREATE, DELETE, SHRINK PARTION IN WINDOWS 7

PLEASE

[IntrepidUnknown]

Better Idea. Cost will be nill if you have a router of any type and an ipod. Download the App for pandora and then hook up your ipod touch to your auxillary in your stereo DONE.. Cost. zip, damage to router or computer nada and not screwing up your router settings..priceless

[CharloRVP]

@xunil3 Same here... I wonder if the usb drivers are corrupt now. Gat dang it!

[saenim]

Got to the part where you start up Putty for the first time, but all I get is a "Connection closed by remote host" error and the telnet window goes away. Any ideas? Help!

[arbyt3r]

I tried it but I must have skipped a step because my neighborhood exploded.

What button do I press to reset everything?

[tozmo]

And, is there an easy way to explain what this guy did?

lithostech.c om/2009/01/openwrt-wifi-radio-­part-2

[tozmo]

I got this working last night, thank you giga. But ario won't accept pls or m3u

"Or you can link to your own mp3's"

How?

[yodeler1232214235134]

i changed all the information in putty and when i reset the router the air light doesn't turn on. I repeated it three times and still no dice. Help??

[tozmo]

@yodeler1232214235134

did you put pka instead of wpa?

[trelozakinthinos]

What is the difference of just using the sound card of your pc????

[mhaidarhanif]

haha, I just realized completely your site is using Google Apps for (maybe one of) the base. You need to cover it, I was redirected from your URL shortener sub-domain. Anyway, how about make a audio podcast (in your site) testing out your own WiFi radio? :) It'll be cool as always.

[Tapewormz]

Get with the times... Bill Gates is no longer the devil...Jobs has been crowned el diablo over the past 3 years.

Gates doesn't want to live forever and has a charity set up for when he does pass on. Jobs steals organs and eats babies. He's evil incarnate.

[SAYHAJ]

不错 :)

[xHAZARD78x]

way better then kipkay, the animations are sexy :D

[twinbytesinc]

You ARE a tinkernut!  lol. Awesome vid!

[kevingp12]

wow this is so sophisticated!!

[Boonchocks]

Yes Daniel. Another amazing video from you.

[Reversd2u]

wtf are you posting these days?

[aidanthwoods]

This is definately better than the previous video on it. Great vid keep it up
