This does sound very attractive. I’ve been trying to get a few family members of of Amazon Alexa’s and this is one of the biggest arguments they give me against it. I’d be curious to hear how far your evolution has come with this. I do have a rather large collection of music mostly from the olden days of piracy but would be interested in some doing some ‘updating’ to the library and the possibility of getting some family further away from Amazon.
How “techy” are you? Do you have a couple of Raspberry Pis or similar laying around basically unused? Can you clone a git repo, open an LLM coding agent and get reasonable results out of the chat interface?
The ultimate goal is to get this 100% AI/LLM free, but for now the LLMs are still doing a lot of the heavy lifting of configuring the target devices to install the player.
I’m just about to run my first test of the “echo mode” where each player plays its own local files, synchronized to one player’s play list (a few issues of delay/clock rate synchronization to deal with in that approach). After that, I discovered I need to do a project rename (I’ve duplicated another project name from 2021, so… time for a different name - on 100K lines of stuff…) then remind me and I’ll give you a pointer to the (new, renamed) repo.

Techy enough. I self host a bunch of stuff and am more or less comfortable cloning a git repo. I actually curtly have 2 rasp pi’s begging for a job.
