What I want to do is plug multiple pi’s into aux speakers, a pi to Bluetooth speakers, and then airplay whatever from my iPhone. All the speakers would play the same thing.
How can I do what you’re doing but with airplay and multiple speakers?

Ah, you're in luck. Shairport-Sync [0] should be exactly what you're looking for.
Anyone know an alternative that works with (non-rooted) Android devices?

This is why I liked Google Audios. It gave me this exact setup, but they sadly discontinued manufacturing them.

Didn't realized they stopped making them... love the devices myself, have two as well as a couple chromecasts, and a couple nvidia shield tv devices. Only thing missing is a nice home media server interface for them, but I haven't looked in a while, someone may have one or more now.
70% of the time, I'm on the shield playing video from my nas in kodi... most of the rest, casting to audio + speakers in the bedroom with rain/storm sounds.

To each their own, but having heard all the Logitech iPod docks, they sound bad.

It can literally be any other speaker or amp with an aux port.

Absolutely, I was commenting on their choice of speaker. Not sure why that’s such a controversial comment

It's not controversial, it's mostly downvoted (as of this writing). I'm guess it was downvoted because it adds ~nothing to the conversation. Might as well have commented "this", or all that was added.

Yeah, and those gold plated HDMI connectors make the picture just so much, sharper!

Gold plated? Ha! Those are for the poor and uncultured.

Mopidy acts as a jukebox, streaming files from the server and locally managing playlists and a queue. It enabled me to reuse my old speakers, put a RasPi to good use, and offers a responsive web UI to manipulate the queue from our phones. It was the best low-requirement open source solution I found.
