I suggest that you take a look here at the different settings.
Personally, I don't think I have changed anything here.

You don't need to start from scratch. You simply change the USB stick.
Then you will need to mount the new stick on the pCP web-page as you did
before. And then on the LMS web-page select where your music files are
located.

If you burn pCP to a SD-card and then boot them, they will be
automatically be recognized by the LMS-server running on your first RPi
and they can be used for playing music.
- I will recommend that you give them different names on the
"Squeezelite web-page" within pCP.
- You will need to configure the on-board wifi as it will not have
ethernet access:

- Finally, I will recommend that you invest in a audio DAC for the
zero like this one:
https://www.justboom.co/product/justboom-dac-zero-phat/ there are
others from other companies as well as some including an amplifier.

I don't know of any free app for iOS - personally I use iPeng:

I think that most of the app available on the mysqueezebox web-page can
be found at the plugin tab (Take a look at plugins tab in your LMS - see
next section.). I'm not completely sure about this.
Personally, I use the TIDAL app as I get streaming music via TIDAL and
as far as I know this is not possible without using mysqueezebox.com.
Michael has been working hard on moving Spotify streaming from
mysqueezebox to LMS.

Please take a look and decide what you would like to test. You can
easily remove any plugin again.
