Another solution that is surprisingly powerful is Logitech Media Server [0], which despite its name is open source and cross-platform. The server can run on any unix-ish machine, and clients can be any number of Raspberry Pis or ESP32s, or custom boxes, or any computer. Multiroom syncing is great. Works for local library and streaming. There is even a modern web interface available [1]. I looked into many of the other solutions in this thread, and LMS suited my needs best.

- alelos 4y agoI’m surprised not a lot of people suggest LMS now days. I’ve been using it for years and I highly recommend it for streaming your library, locally or remotely. Poor man’s sonos with multidevice sync as well! It has an active community and a variety of very useful plugins. Heck, I use it as a Spotify frontend as well. Just make sure to use the material UI plug-in linked above, a lot of people get bumped out with the built in ui upon first install.
- xn 4y agoI use squeezeboxes to stream music around the house, using the Squeezer app on my phone to control them. The Squeeze Player app works well for streaming to my phone, although I haven't spent time figuring out how to get this working from outside my LAN; I use Squeezer to download music from LMS to my phone. The LMS music directory is managed by git-annex. I use git-annex to sync music to my computer for playing locally with mpd and to make new music I rip from CDs available to LMS.
