## What it is
Phoniebox (RPi-Jukebox-RFID) is a contactless jukebox application for Raspberry Pi that plays local music, podcasts, web radio, streams and Spotify, triggered by RFID cards, a web app, or GPIO buttons. It is plug-and-play via USB with no soldering required and includes a plugin system and responsive web client.

## Use cases
- build an RFID music box for kids
- play audiobooks when a card is placed on a box
- stream web radio controlled by RFID cards
- control a Raspberry Pi jukebox from a phone web app
- add GPIO buttons to a DIY speaker project
- set up a weekend Raspberry Pi audio project without soldering

## When to choose
- you want a kid-friendly, card-triggered music player on a Raspberry Pi
- you need plug-and-play USB RFID reader and sound card support
- you want web app and home automation control of local audio, podcasts and streams

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose music server without RFID hardware
- you want a polished commercial product rather than a DIY project
- your platform is not a Raspberry Pi / Linux board
