OtterCastAmp
OtterCastAmp is an open-source WiFi Speaker amplifier, based on a Sochip S3 SoC. Powered by any USB PD adapter for up to 100W of music.
I wish Pandora's APIs were more open. There's a library for their radio feature[0] but no API for their music subscription service.

For anyone else who wants to do this, just set up the absolutely amazing Volumio on your RPi or any other computer.

The web app is great for use in your house, the Spotify plugin is first class - it's supported as a target in your Spotify app, or you can browse straight from the webapp, which means even a guest on your wifi can easily pop on and help pick the music.
This is very similar to the OtterCast, which is an open source and open hardware Chromecast replacement.

Yeah, I used to use Spotify for discovery when the radio function acted like...radio. Now it's just a 30 track playlist on loop generated based on things you have liked. So absolutely fucking pointless for discovery.
I am SCREAMING OUT for a service that was like the old Spotify radio.
Currently just going to gigs again and finding bands through bandcamp the organic way is what I'm doing.
Also, here is a script I wrote to download and extract a Bandcamp download link and import it with the beet CLI music library manager:
