Mopidy-MusicBox-Webclient 2.1.1

Mopidy MusicBox web extension

With Mopidy MusicBox Webclient, you can play your music on your computer (Rapsberry Pi) and remotely control it using your computer, tablet or phone.

This is a responsive webclient especially written for Mopidy, a music server. Responsive, so it works on desktop and mobile browsers. You can browse, search and play albums, artists, playlists, and it has cover art from Last.fm.

Mopidy is a music server which can play music from Spotify, Google Music, SoundCloud, etc. or from your hard drive.

If you want to run Mopidy with this webclient on a Raspberry Pi, do yourself a favor and use my custom built SD-image: Pi MusicBox.
