title: MusicCookie - A portable music player operated by NFC tags
---

<div class="message">
  This article will show you how to make your own portable music player that is operated by NFC tags. 
  While the player presented here is designed for children, it can easily be adapted 
  to make e.g. a music player to hook up to your car's stereo.

### MusicCookie

This is the device. The Rasberry PI has been mounted in such a way that it protrudes out of the balsa wood top for better NFC reception.

It is operated by these balsa wood figures that have an [NFC sticker](https://www.amazon.de/Tags-Sticker-NTAG213-Circus-168Byte/dp/B00BTKAI7U/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1478949107&sr=8-4&keywords=nfc+tags) on the backside.

To play a song, you simply need to place one of the figures on the Raspberry PI.

### The interiour

This is what the MusiCookie-box looks like on the inside. There is the Raspi with the SD card holding the Raspian OS (Jessie) and music-files. 
The Raspberry PI gets its power through a smartphone charger battery-pack, that is connected via micro USB cable. Sound is played through a little active bathroom speaker.
