@jgoerzen Yep, I've heard LMS is pretty great but I haven't actually used it myself. You can do all that stuff with groups and everything with snapcast as well but the philosophy is a little different. More unixy and more flexible I'd say plus I kind of wanted to avoid having to make an account and connect to a logitech server. What I like about snapcast is that it's just doing the audio sync and take whatever you want to throw at it as the source of that audio. I've gotten used to mpd at this point but I switched over to mopidy a while back and it was much easier to get setup and configured and has a lot of cool extensions. Snapcast has a JSON-RPC api that you can control it and get information from too that I've used to interact with my whole audio setup in my custom TUI dashboard by scripting the different playback functions of mopidy and the multi-room audio management of snapcast and attaching them to buttons in my TUI interface. Plus there's an app and web interface and other programs for it too. LMS is definitely a nice and more complete all in one solution though.
