Thanks for the comprehensive list!  I have been buying secondhand SBs
for friends, but they are getting harder to find.  I am considering the
Raspberry Pi, but that seems a bit fiddly for my friends who may not
have interest in maintaining a DIY project.

I'll have to try the Chromecast.  At $35 for the (complete) hardware, if
the Phillipe's plugin works well, this seems like a no-brainer.  And the
Chromecast is *-tiny-*, so that's a real benefit too.

Couple questions:

1. Can one manage playback via LMS (as with regular Squeezeboxes) so one
does not need to use whatever Android app normally controls the
Chromecast?

2. Can multiple Chromecasts be syncronized for playback in multiple
locations (as can Squeezeboxes)?


Thanks!
