Homelabs

Finally carved out some time to sort out my home audio system. I have:

Five zones powered off cheap class t amps, each with an old airport Express as the source input. Airplay2 compatible for Spotify, YouTube from mobile. 

A raspberry pi runs a couple of background utilities:
- Owntone to serve radio streams to the AirPlay speakers. Preferred this method so radio wasn’t tied to a mobile device. 
- Icecast2/Darkice to stream analog audio sources (vinyl) to local network so it can be picked up by Owntone (not a hifi solution for vinyl but works for me)
- Owntone is currently controlled via API on our mobiles, but future plan is to put a few physical buttons around to switch between streams.
