Tired of picking items at random? This repository details how to build a python app on a Pocket C.H.I.P. that ingests a CSV of vinyl records and displays them at random for you to spin at your leisure. The keyboard can be used to pick songs out of a certain genre.

• A Pocket C.H.I.P. I believe this company is now insolvent, but there may be devices floating around.
• A CSV file of records. Here is a snippet of how I have my fields arranged in Google Sheets, which was then exported to a CSV:

The csv included in this repo is not a complete version. It was generated with shuf -n 10 vinyl.csv

• /usr/share/pocket-home/config.json - contains shell commands, paths to icons, the python app, and the csv.
• /home/chip/random_album.py - the python program. Note that the python file must be written in python2. The CHIP does not support python3.
• /home/chip/vinyl.csv - the list of vinyl records.
