Finally found a use for my Raspberry Pi

Backstory as short as I can make it: One of my great-grandmas is in a nursing home, likes 50s music and lawrence welk, nursing home people won't switch out DVDs or CDs for her, and I have a Raspberry Pi I haven't used in months.

So we got a case and a 32GB memory card, and put a huge chunk of her DVD and CD collection, along with shows, songs, and radio broadcasts from youtube and archive.org onto it and set it up to play through it all randomly and loop, reshuffling it every time it finishes playing through.

I can recommend you Arduino. You can make lots of cooler stuff, and a way more cheaper.
