The previous link now points to a spam domain. PiMusicBox has been discontinued and the Github project archived. Per the project page: ** This project is no longer maintained ** There will be no more releases and probably no more support from myself. The Pi 4 and Zero W 2 do not work with the last release and I don't know of any workarounds. Potential alternative software suggestions are available here. The software will continue to be available for now but note it is very outdated, doesn't support the latest Pi hardware and is totally unsupported. I encourage people to find alternatives. Thanks to everyone that has helped with Pi Musicbox.

The Music Player Daemon {% term integration %} allows you to control a Music Player Daemon from Home Assistant. Unfortunately, it does not allow you to manipulate the playlist (add or delete songs) or add transitions between the songs.
Even though no playlist manipulation is possible, it is possible to use the play_media action to load an existing saved playlist as part of an automation or scene.
{% include integrations/config_flow.md %}
Example script to load a saved playlist called "DeckMusic" and set the volume:
relaxdeck:
sequence:
- action: media_player.play_media
target:
entity_id: media_player.main
data:
media_content_type: playlist
media_content_id: DeckMusic
- action: media_player.volume_set
target:
entity_id: media_player.main
data:
volume_level: 0.60
This platform works with Music Player Daemon and mopidy with Mopidy-MPD as used by Pi MusicBox. While all of these rely on the common MPD protocol, not all implementations support all features, especially with regard to album artwork, embedded artwork and volume control. The platform will fall back gracefully if support isn't detected.
