AmpliPi - open source home audio distribution
Thanks again! Check us out later on when you are planning your basement room. If there is interest, we are considering selling individual AmpliPi boards for those who want to integrate different portions of AmpliPi into their own designs. We are also open to suggestions for future incarnations of AmpliPi (including more affordable versions.)

My friends and I made an open source, whole house audio system based on the Raspberry Pi CM3+ compute module!
Lincoln here from MicroNova. Both of these are features we have talked about adding to AmpliPi. Feel free to make an issue on our GitHub!

Why is Spotify not implementing this?

Works perfectly on pis scattered around the house.

MultiRoom MulitCast Spotify Sound System Recommendations
Snapcast: The cheapest and most modular option is deploying small form factor linux clients (raspberry pis, or any host all) with an audio interface (3.5mm, RCA, or otherwise), and connect the audio output interface to your choice of speaker. Snapcast is the open-source multi-room brains. It works well in my experience, but it is tricky to get setup properly to start with. Spotify Connect support is possible so you can launch your Spotify listening session from the Spotify app. Snapcast also integrates into Home Assistant for ease of adding/removing clients from the active listening sessions (yes, plural. You can have multiple listening sessions from multiple audio input sources at once).

Audio options for 3 to 5 zones.
- snapcast - this server/client software will broadcast synchronized audio from any source to any snapcast client. The server and clients can all run on the same computer. Individual clients are assigned to their own usb soundcard. Source and volume for each client is controlled through the webpage and/or homeassistant.

I don't want streaming music, I just want to stream my music
I have a music library on my home server that I use mopidy to play via the iris plugin integrated into my home assistant UI. It plays over Snapcast which streams over the network to multiple devices in the home with independent volume control. I can fire up the Snapcast client in my phone to get it going there as well, which does work over vpn if I'm away, though I generally just fire up the files from my phones SD card for out-of-home listening. I recently started using whipper on Linux to extract audio from craigslist cds.

Whole home sync'd rpi audio w plex, spotify, airplay
You want SnapCast. You'd run snapserver on your Linux box and snapclient on your Pi's. Snapserver has support for Airplay (via shairport-sync) and Spotify (via librespot). I recommend using MPD for your music library, as I don't think PlexAmp can output audio in a way that's useful for snapserver.

Camper Touchscreen Audio Setup
Instead of splitting audio from the jack output you can create a Little network with a router and have more rpi streaming music over It using snapcastsnapcast .

Recommendations for Multi-Room Speaker With Multiple Audio Sources?
If you're into the idea of an open-source client/server architecture, then there's Snapcast. If you have a few Raspberry Pis (one per output source) or any other box that can run Linux and has an audio out interface, then this is cheap and easy with an active Home Assistant integration too.

Whole Home Audio - Design Help
I'm setting up a whole home audio set up and looking for suggestions in the design. Currently, I run Snapcast on Raspberry pis connected to various soundbars or amps. It's working ok, but has issues (Mostly on some of the 2.4GHz WiFi Pis that can't keep up with the bandwidth).

Looking for a good music playlist generator
For the multi-room audio, check out snapcast. If you like it, we could try to convince the Symfonium dev to add the ability to cast music directly to snapcast, which I would love to have!
