Catalog - project-owner/Peppy.doc GitHub Wiki
The Catalog functionality provides the ability to browse/search through the audio files collections of such online streaming services as Qobuz, Deezer, Spotify and iTunes. The search can be done using such categories as New Albums, Bestsellers, Genres, Artist, Album and Track.
The Catalog functionality was implemented by means of libraries minim and deezer-python. These libraries leverage a public API of a corresponding online streaming service.
The Internet connection should be available in order to use the Catalog functionality. Also the Catalog mode should be enabled either in the configuration file /home/pi/Peppy/configuration/config.txt directly or using the Configuration Web UI.
