Mario Pucci has been featured on the official Arduino website to demonstrate how an Arduino Uno can be combined with an NFC shield and a little Python code to build a real music jukebox.

The stack of 45 records were replaced with an Arduino Mega 2560 with an Sparkfun MP3 player shield, and he jukebox lights are now controlled with 74595 shift registers.

Full instructions on how to create your very own Arduino music player and alarm clock have been kindly published by Dejan Nedelkovski with all the code you require.

If you want to give people more options without forcing a playlist, Instructables user LifegraphLabs shows off a system that uses RFID, an Arduino, and Facebook to play everyone's favorites songs.
