Looking for a good way to download MP3 directly from Spotify.
They use a version of this.

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.

Trying to cross compile spotify for my remote vacuum cleaner
For the last tow days I'm trying to compile librespot for my Xiaomi Mop PRO STYJ02YM Vacuum Cleaner. Vacuum uses TinaLinux which uses OpenWRT under the hood. The platform is armv7.

Spot (Native Spotify client for GNOME) seems unmaintained.
Also, the base library doing the hard work of communicating with the proprietary Spotify service is still very healthy, since April 2015. I would say that is a pretty decent time no?

Whole Home Audio - Design Help
To replace it, I've purchased in-ceiling speakers and a Control 4 Amp (C4-16AMP3-B) which I can control via the network. I plan on using shareport-sync for AirPlay and librespot for spotify as the sources to play music. 90% of the use for my whole home audio is for music.

Working on a Spotify TUI/CLI in GO using bubbletea
But, if I can control librespot, https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot that's interesting

Flatpak Spotify vs Tab in Firefox browser
You can also just use librespot, which acts as a Spotify Connect device so you can play music in your PC and control it from your phone in a very light way

Spotifyd
To get it to support Spotify Free, you need to compile librespot with this part of the code commented out: https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/blob/6dc7a11b09b5...

Bose SoundTouch WiFi Audio Streaming
There are a few dockers that seem to be able to do what you want. Some can stream local audio to airplay devices what might work with a bit of scripting for your white noise and others might work as a Chromecast to Airplay bridge https://github.com/philippe44/AirConnect https://github.com/1activegeek/docker-airconnect

I used something different. Basic details for your entertainment/edification/comedy source material follow mostly so you can shortcut a comparison if you're building something at your place.
1) Pi-zero running shairport-sync (couldn't get them, got orange-pi zero 2 which works great) https://github.com/mikebrady/shairporait-sync. I have a few of these.
2) Class D amp, Aiyima, Fosi, Loxjie etc Aliexpress is one place to get these. I've used and like Aiyima A03 and their ali store delivers fast.
3) Some nice, high-quality, 2nd hand speakers you like. Wharfedale, JBL, B&W, Acoustic Research, Yamaha. (Or get some active speakers you like and skip #2, eg B&O beolab 6000)
4) owntone (formerly known as forked-daapd) https://owntone.github.io/owntone-server/
5) configure owntone with your spotify premium, takes less than a minute. (And with your music that you own - takes longer because you take more care).
You now have a multiroom setup with fantastic sound that you can control with http://owntone.local:3689/ including with your phone. And/or you can use the "Retune" app on droid and apple's "itunes remote" app on ios. Better sound than most alternatives for less dollars.
All integrates well with Homeasistant because of course it does.
I really like how mine turned out. Having half a dozen sets of speakers all playing the same music in perfect sync as you move from one room to another while doing chores on the weekend fills me with more joy that I would have guessed. YMMV.

Modernizing my 1980s sound system
Which is especially nice if you install Owntone ( https://github.com/owntone/owntone-server/ ) -- now you have a nice web interface for playing music to any or all of your systems.
Yes, you wouldn't get this running on an existing smart speaker (without first rooting it and some serious hacking).
If you'r in the Apple ecosystem and are using AirPlay with your smart speaker(s), it's however possible to also play synchronized audio across to your own DIY speaker setup, using another open source project.
https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync
Or you could of course choose to only use your old dumb speakers with this, and they will pop up as easily selectable sound output devices on all Apple devices connected to your network.
Or combine it (and librespot[2], owntone[3]...) with Snapcast to create a virtual speaker for your whole house that shows up everywhere.
