Please say more about this! I've wanted to do this for ages.

I am using this. LMS is running on the network. UI is material-ui (works great on mobile as well). Spotty as Spotify plugin.

I can play music directly from my mobile Spotify (so supports Spotify Connect). I can see all my Squeezebox players there, combines synced players flawlessly.

Also plays local files. And also directly from youtube.

I have about 9 players on different rooms and could not be more happy with the setup.

If you would like to know any specific details, just ask. Happy to elaborate.

What are your players? What kind of device?

Currently I have multiple different Squeezebox players (Boom, Radio, Receiver, Touch), then on mobile Squeezeplay app (Android) for mobile usage (sometimes quite handy, when somewhere else than home, nice way to have own music library with me via VPN with same UI as home). Also Chrome speakers are players from LMS point of view.

Squeezeboxes are rather durable, probably will use those for many more years. Have been also collecting little replacement player stock :)

Wanted to evaluate esp32 -based player mainly for hacking purposes, but havent found yet time to work on those.

If you like it simple max2play is an image for that. https://www.max2play.com/en/
