Never been an audiophile, but we have a lot of music on pretty much all the time.
In the old house I had a 'load' of Slim Devices / Logitech Squeezeboxes synced.
I carried this across to the new house, but it ran a server / client software on an old Dell desktop and it became pretty unreliable with loss of sync and hangs.
Fast forward a couple of years and I got a Google Home Mini and started to get a few IoT devices. Nothing fancy.
I then found out I could cast to Chromecast devices. So I hooked up some cheap Chromecast Audios to the main hifi speakers and a couple of the old Squeezebox Booms I had already invested in.
Add in a free Spotify account and cue voice activated, synced music around the house.
The music we listen to is either podcasts or random within a couple of genres, so just ask the nice Google lady for a playlist and we don't need a premuim account.
