Easy enough to check this out with a router and a smartphone to make sureD that there's no deadspots because of the walls. If there aren't any, this would work well and would avoid the problem of user interference with playback that a player-based system can have. Wi-Fi could also be used to send

Thinking a bit more about this, the Raspberry Pi solution may not, in this case, be the right one because of power consumption/battery life considerations, though new "Zero" version may be better in this respect - I can't find data on this yet, unfortunately. The FM solution with distributed
