I had installed a raspberry pi in my old car and just played around with it. Didn't really use it for anything spectacular except to say that i have a usb powered computer in my car.
Now I am exploring the possibility of making the pi a media server. I have read a lot about media servers and have yet to find a decent method for multi-source music. I am mainly talking about wifi, usb, bluetooth audio. Mainly bluetooth streaming with MPRIS2 support for wireless phone control, stick it in a glove box or center console and forget about it. Strange how nearly every car radio you can buy either has, or makes available to option as, a bluetooth receiver for phone calls and bluetooth streaming. I have yet to find a linux application that combines these two elements together, as well as utilizing it as a media player. In a nutshell, I would like to implement the ford sync system in the raspberry pi. It doesn't have to look pretty or function the same, but it's just shocking how car audio systems are the best at being media players.
Current media players:
XBMC
Amarok
Clementine
Banshee
Volumio(Raspyfi(raspberry pi distro) replacement)
Pimusicbox (another raspberry pi distro that is actually really good)
Media/music servers/mixers:
XBMC
MPD
ALSA
pulseaudio
Mopidy (preferred)
Proposed implementation:
XBMC with a Mopidy backend for music playback with support for bluetooth, wifi, and usb audio reception.
