  • rpi-audio-receiver

    Raspberry Pi Audio Receiver with Bluetooth A2DP, AirPlay 2, and Spotify Connect

  • I do this currently with spotify, as the rpi runs rpi-audio-receiver with the spotifyd daemon. I like this because from any spotify app I can switch the device over to the rpi and the music comes out of the speakers. I don't need to access any web server running on the pi or have a separate app for playing the music there.

  • Snapcast

    Synchronous multiroom audio player

  • Have a look at Snapcast. It has a (tiny) server component (e.g. bundled in Iris) and a super-tiny player component that can be run on Raspery Pi Zero's. You play music through the Iris interface and all Snapcast Clients forward the stream of what is currently played to the speakers.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
