[Swlug] A tiny RaspberryPi media player?

[Simon Palmer]

Hi Mark,
Something like this:
https://www.hifiberry.com/build/guides/hifiberry-streamer-in-a-classic-audio-case/(I
quite like the hifiberry kit - some of the projects are interesting)
Internet radio seems to be much more popular - doesn't require a the
AM/FM bits.Many TV tuners can receive FM too. 

I don't think the Pi has a 5Ghz wifi chip yet, if you wanted that.

Hi,

Does this sound reasonable:

A RaspberryPi + screen + case (+ AM/FM receiver)?

The aim is to make a small (mains-powered) media player that can be used
to watch music on YouTube, catchup on BBC iPlayer, and ideally listen to
broadcasts on AM and FM (e.g., Radio 3; although I guess iPlayer would
be sufficient for this anyway).

I can't see a case on their website for the back of the 7" touch
display; is there one? It would be a gift and must look 'complete'.

I'd want to use their Debian-based OS since I'm used to Debian.

I have no hardware skills at all, so would have to make it out of
existing components that can just fit together.

Also, why would I need the USB WiFi dongle when it has wireless
built-in? The device would only be used at home with our wireless
router.

Thanks,
