For
Raspberry Pi makers building a pocket DJ rig
Worth noticing
The hardware guide calls for a ventilated case and internal fan, and warns that weak power can cause dropouts or corrupt storage.

Field notes

The standard parts list pairs the Pi's onboard Bluetooth with a small Classic Bluetooth USB adapter, and the build instructions emphasize ventilation, adequate power, and low-volume testing. The page also sketches three community-reseller tiers, from a prepared SD card to a tested pre-assembled unit, while telling builders to disclose included parts and set their own support and warranty terms.
