Immediately from when this video started, I saw potential for something cool - a 3D-printed vinyl record that holds the NFC sticker underneath the labels, and a tiny motor to actually run the record, while the album art is placed at the side. At 33 rpm of course.

what an awesome project idea, love how it captures the tactile property of physical media while sacrificing as little convenience as possible

So glad to see someone actually turn this into a real product. I've thought about the cards off and on for years, but doing it on a phone lacked some elegance. Seeing the hardware of a nice, inconspicuous wooden product really takes it to a next level.

That said, what about this:
- Cheap android phone (with headphone jack)
Put it in a nice wooden enclosure flush with the screen, screen exposed.
That way you've got both Aux and Bluetooth options,
and relative ease of setup for both playing music directly through spotify,
and even creation of new cards through apps like NFC Tools

You've done a great job with this! I've seen other projects that use RFID, but your presentation is incredible. The wooden box idea is fantastic. Thank you for sharing :)

I just built this using a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and so far it is working great. I need to add more songs to my IF statments and may work on figuring an easier way to add new songs. Gives me something to play with.
Great video and blog with super easy to follow directions. Everything I needed to do was there. Probably the first project like this I have done without running into issues.
Thanks!!!!

this is a very solid idea for the future of physical releases. Could be a great balance between supporting the artist and keeping the convenience of modern audio tech

[johnwhite]

This is absolutely awesome . I was looking to do something similar with samples. Keep up the good work!

Dude this is amazing!!! I wanted to do something like this for a long time but didn't know how to go about it... Thank you

[DualWieldingDad]

I had this exact idea. Good to see a polished prototype
