So its a revamp

Pi ZERO [2]Ws and hifiberry audio DACS. Feeding thwacking great stiudio
amps and nice speakers.

Gets audio either from a ripped CD library or internet radio.

Web interface.

I didn't know about mpd, and that has enabled a huge improvement in
radio station access so I will rewrite the web interface. and version
2.0 will be available in the new years...:-)

The backend daemon works fine, its the UI that was shit and the ability
to access radio stations.

Radio 4 extra has old plays and audio books. Radio 5 live has cricket.

Some of Radio 3 is worth listening to, and or the world service.
