I am looking for something I can run on a Pi that gives me access to my private audio library plus Spotify, because I hate switching apps. I want to access it from a desktop and Android. Does someone have something like this set up?

That’s where I’ve been heading too. The snapcast client has been a bit unreliable for me on my desktop though (choppy and stuttering) but it’s great in its unix-like flexibility and I’m sure it will continue to get better.
Honestly, I hope that mobile connections in my country are one day: fast enough, cheap enough, and reliable enough that I could just use snapcast remotely and get truly seamless self-hosted streaming but that’s still a long way away I suspect.
I haven’t had any trouble with Snapclient when run in user mode on my desktop. It does get kinda wonky when run as a system service on desktop linux.
It could be some pipewire weirdness on the client, I’m not sure. I’ll probably also try using pipewire or pulse on the host and use their built in named pipe support. Maybe that will work better.
