  1. Snapcast

    Synchronous multiroom audio player

    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.

    AirPlay and AirPlay 2 audio player

  5. Mopidy

    Mopidy is an extensible music server written in Python

    Could instead use Mopidy as the music player, which has plugins for Spotify and Airplay support.
