Putting new life into old hardware is one of the many ways the Raspberry Pi community has been able to thrive over the last decade. Makers put Pis into just about anything and everything. Case in point: Reddit user Unchecked_arrogance recently created a music streaming platform using a Raspberry Pi inside of an old Sony tape deck. The project runs mainly on the Pi but it's possible to still use the original hardware in the tape deck.
According to Unchecked_arrogance, the project was inspired by other makers who did something similar by installing a smartphone into an old tape deck. However, using a Pi like this, along with a double deck, allows you to not only take advantage of all the Pi's streaming capability — but also use the tape playing functionality.
