PiCore is a specialized distribution that great folks here have made and that initially was dedicated to run a SB player (squeezelite) but that has extended to much more and can run LMS fully now. It's a LMS-centric small audio center for Pi. But you can use the generic Pi OS to install yourself LMS and/or a squeezelite (the player). You can then have your local collection (if any) connected to the Pi or on a NAS on your network. Now, some companies repackage Pi in different shapes and forms, sometimes with a bit of extra software, sometimes with casings & displays to make either just players, just servers or players and servers. Long story short, you have a lot of choices LMS 7.9 on Pi 3B+ & Odroid-C2 - *SqueezeAMP!*, 5xRadio, 3xBoom, 4xDuet, 1xTouch, 1 SB3.
