The One Glorious People's Supreme /Dev/Hack Music System

[nc@…]

currently, we have several different music systems running at /dev/hack:

• two (three?) different sets of speakers, some spread across multiple rooms, each with their own inputs
• the bespoke /dev/hack youtube jukebox
• a navidrome server with streamripper recordings of various radio stations, running on the shibari pc and with clients set up on various devices
• homeassistant music (currently hooked up to navidrome and someone's spotify)

we also have several suggested music systems and integrations:

• music player daemon
• CUPS music queue (mysterious -- m knows more about this)
• hyperlocal/FCC-compliant fm transmission

it would be nice to have all of these bridged together into one monstrosity of a system, maybe centered around music player daemon with a library hosted in navidrome.

things to connect to one another:

• homeassistant has MPD support: ​https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/mpd/
• mopidy (an implementation of MPD) has subsonic/navidrome support: ​https://mopidy.com/ext/subidy/
• the jukebox is purpose-built and could be modified to link into all of this, likely via MPD: ​https://git.devhack.net/tracert/webBubbler-jukebox
• speakers that are not wired together can be wired together
• a $70 fm transmitter would plug in and give wireless access: ​https://www.basewish.com/basewish-05B-0.5W-fm-transmitter-for-drive-in-church.html (i may end up getting this)
• cups queue ? ? ? ? ?

also worth noting: if the goal is for things to hook into MPD, it follows that using homeassistant's MPD integration is sub-optimal except when working/connecting with larger systems already using homeassistant
