Offline The user guide will give details on how to create your own skins, storing songs on USB memory sticks, and other helpful hints. Fruit Box works on all Raspberry Pi devices except model 4, but runs better on the higher spec (quad core) machines (i.e. Models 2 and 3), especially if playing music videos.

Offline Fruitbox v1 (pi 2,3) See here : https://github.com/chundermike/rpi-fruitbox
Note : this version has now been superceded by version 2. Please find version 2 here :

Raspberry Pi fruitbox
fruitbox is a customisable MP3 player for the Raspberry Pi, allowing the user to create the look and feel of classic jukeboxes.
An SD image file is available here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bc1r0ypwrvaqln4/rpi-fruitbox-v1.16a.img.zip?dl=0
Just download the image, and burn it onto a SD card (using balenaEtcher for example on a Windows PC). Then put all your MP3 files onto a USB memory stick, plug into the Pi (any model except Pi4) and then power up! If you want to use touchscreens, remap your buttons or create your own skins, then you’ll need to read the userguide.txt to find out how. The default keys are also detailed in the userguide.
Rather than use the SD card image above, you can install the files on your existing set-up as follows:
- It is recommended to start from a fresh OS install (latest Raspbian Buster release)
- Increase GPU memory to (at least) 256 (sudo raspi-config -> Advanced Options -> Memory Split)
- From a command shell, type : wget https://github.com/chundermike/rpi-fruitbox/raw/master/install.sh
- From a command shell, type : chmod +x ./install.sh
- From a command shell, type : source ./install.sh
- Copy your music MP3 files (either to the SD card or USB memory stick)
- Point fruitbox to your MP3 files (edit skins/WallJuke/fruitbox.cfg (or any other skin you fancy) and change the MusicPath parameter)
- Run fruitbox ( ./fruitbox –cfg skins/WallJuke/fruitbox.cfg)
Run with –config-buttons command line argument to map buttons to touch screen, GPIO and/or USB controllers.
For best results, run fruitbox directly from a command line boot, not from a command shell launched from the desktop.
The user guide will give details on how to create your own skins, storing songs on USB memory sticks, and other helpful hints.
fruitbox works on all Raspberry Pi devices except model 4, but runs better on the higher spec (quad core) machines (i.e. Models 2 and 3), especially if playing music videos.
Please feedback to me any bugs which need fixing, or any feature requests you would like to see in future releases.
If you design any skins and would like to share them, please let me know and I can include them in the fruitbox github repository.

Thanks!

Raspberry Pi fruitbox (Version 2)
fruitbox is a customisable MP3 player for the Raspberry Pi, allowing the user to create the look and feel of classic jukeboxes. fruitbox works on all Raspberry Pi devices, but runs better on the higher spec (quad core) machines (i.e. Models 2 and above), especially if playing music videos.
Installation is as follows:
For Raspberry Pi version 4 (recommended) :
fruitbox only runs under the Raspberry Pi OS Desktop version (not Lite). The 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS image is recommended … https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspios_arm64/images/raspios_arm64-2022-04-07/2022-04-04-raspios-bullseye-arm64.img.xz
Increase GPU memory to (at least) 256 ( -> Performance Options -> GPU Memory)
From a command shell, type : wget https://github.com/chundermike/rpi-fruitbox-v2/raw/main/install_fruitbox_pi4
From a command shell, type : chmod +x ./install_fruitbox_pi4
From a command shell, type : ./install_fruitbox_pi4
For Raspberry Pi versions Zero through 3 :
It is recommended to start from a fresh OS install (latest Raspbian Buster release) Note that due to sound issues on the latest OS release (Bullseye, Debian version 11), fruitbox requires the Legacy (Buster) OS … https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspios_oldstable_lite_armhf/images/raspios_oldstable_lite_armhf-2022-01-28/2022-01-28-raspios-buster-armhf-lite.zip
Increase GPU memory to (at least) 256 (sudo raspi-config -> Performance Options -> GPU Memory) Note raspi-config can also be used to set up Wi-Fi and enable SSH for transferring files from PC to Pi via WinSCP for example
From a command shell, type : wget https://github.com/chundermike/rpi-fruitbox-v2/raw/main/install_fruitbox
From a command shell, type : chmod +x ./install_fruitbox
From a command shell, type : ./install_fruitbox
Steps 6 to 8 below are for all Raspberry Pi versions …
- Copy your music MP3 files (either to the SD card or USB memory stick) (by default fruitbox looks for music files in the /home/pi/Music directory on the SD card)
- Point fruitbox to your MP3 files (edit /home/pi/fruitbox/fruitbox.ini and change the MusicPath parameter)
- Run fruitbox… From a command shell, type : cd /home/pi/fruitbox then type : ./fruitbox
For help, from a command line, enter :
./fruitbox –help
Also, the user guide will give details on how to create your own skins, storing songs on USB memory sticks, and other helpful hints.
If you design any skins and would like to share them, please let me know and I can include them in the fruitbox github repository.

ok thanks for the explanation I’m going with the topic
I have doubts I currently have raspberry pi 4 8gb
homeassistant installation on sd
if I install fruitbox in another
sd simply by changing sd in raspberry pi and following the steps that you comment should work? I ask why I do not master the raspberry theme very well
