If you still want to use it as a normal AM/FM radio you could put one of these additionally between the amp and the Pi. --Patrick (talk) 01:23, 12 May 2019 (CEST)
Sources
Which Media Sources are you considering? Bluetooth? Spotify? Local Playback? This would most likely drive your software options (Volumio, Moodeaudio, Mopidy, etc.)
- I will probably use mostly local storage (SD card that is just shuffled by default?) and the occasional bluetooth connection. What would you think is best for that? --Lukas (talk) 11:42, 29 May 2019 (CEST)

Shutdown
Regarding the shutdown: you can of course use a custom python script (check out the CommonRoomPiSettings Repo for details) and setup a similar Button/LED solution as we have at the space. As an alternative, you can use the gpio-shutdown option that raspbian ships with (Details can be found here). What you need to check is the startup. However, since you are planning to power the pi via batteries, I would recommend to completely disconnect it from the batteries in order not to loose power due to the pis standby. That way, you will either way need some smart electronics option to provide power back to the pi (e.g. some relays or something, let´s discuss this in person/with patrick).
