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.
