Thanks, someone else linked this too: https://github.com/rgerganov/shanocast

I’ve thought about running wires too but I don’t always want it playing in every room, and the convenience of "cast to [group A] [group B] etc is too convenient for my family to give up.

That makes sense but I just wanted to check. Someone else linked this to me but it appears at least one other open source project works with it https://github.com/rgerganov/shanocast

Now that’s interesting! Thanks

The cast button works with Apple Airplay and Sonos devices yeah? I also believe it works with (some) Wiim devices.

Dang OK thanks yeah we need all apps (Tidal, BandCamp, Pocketcasts etc) not just Spotify.

Music assistant is indeed cool and can do multi-room, but you have to go to it specifically first.

Snapcast allows me to use the “chromecast” button inside the spotify app?

Won’t work with multiroom unfortunately.

I have a home server, I just need the little parts that plug into the speaker.

I actually looked into Wiim and it’s really great, but you need to open the music in their app in order to do mutiroom. You can’t just “cast” from Spotify or whatever.

EDIT: Some Wiim devices have chromecast built in
