Prerequisites

System Requirements

Fresh Raspberry Pi OS (Lite/Bookworm recommended)

The installation script will automatically install the required packages, but if you prefer manual installation:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install darkice icecast2 alsa-utils -y
sudo reboot

Hardware Requirements

  • Raspberry Pi (any model, including Pi Zero 2W)
  • USB audio interface (record player → RCA/3.5mm → USB)
  • Reliable power supply (USB audio hates undervoltage - use a quality power adapter)
  • Network connection (WiFi or Ethernet)

Software Requirements

  • Raspberry Pi OS (Debian-based)
  • Git (usually pre-installed)
  • Sudo access

Notes

  • The Pi Zero 2W works great for this setup
  • USB audio disconnections are fixed by the wrapper script and USB audio configuration
  • A stable power supply is critical - undervoltage causes USB audio issues
