I've not been able to see any similar problem to mine, despite looking
regularly for the last few months.

I have been running a multi room system now for several years using a
LMS setup on a functional but damaged laptop running Ubuntu, together
with three/four or five Raspi players (depending on time of year and
inclination) - the system has behaved flawlessly for me until
comparatively recently.

I had a hankering to give some basic functional voice controls
(volume/next track/stop etc) using an Amazon Echo dot and MediaServer.
Now this MAY have nothing to do with my problem (see later) but I DO
know it started round that time.

On a number of occasions, purely at random times, my system would start
playing random tracks from my library AT FULL VOLUME. This happened a
few times late evening after we had been listening to a random playlist
and had simply stopped play.

So, I started clearing the playlists after use. Nothing to play now,
right?

Wrong. And things got suddenly worse. We were woken at varying ungodly
hours (between midnight and 5:30AM by heavy rock music at full volume on
a number of evenings. I considered there MUST be some link between the
voice control system on the basis of "last thing to change" being the
culprit. Removed all traces - but no, the problem persisted. And
persists. 

Ghosts in the machine is not the word for it.

I've now taken to switching the LMS server machine OFF at night - not
the ideal situation, as I sometimes enjoy music in bed at weekends, but
until I can figure out how to programmatically turn a Linux laptop OFF
and ON again, its the best I can do.

Has anybody had similar problems with their system? Or can anyone offer
ideas as to whats causing it?
