Are either of you familar with kodi or remote access /streaming via ssh ? If so one simple option would be to setup a ssh tunnel thru to a music store on your network and have him connect to it via key (preferred) or passphrase ( less preferred for security but doable). that way you would be able to update and / or curate playlists and or even allow him to remotely access a pandora /spotify account form your network / IP and not be technically voilating ToS.

Updated email on profile but its also on my keybase profile https://keybase.io/linuxmodder ...under my github profile. sheldon DOT corey AT openmailbox DOT org.... Side note if anyone is interested in keybase invite I have about a dozen and a half left, email me at above shown email, I openly and happily solicit PGP mail with the keys shown on my keybase profile.

As a tag on to this, set a solid hardened ( to your level of tin foil) firewall, complete with replacing router with open|DDwrt one and setting up a VPN over ssh from within your own home network, this has several benefits, you know the holes in the firewall, you use the bandwidth you are paying for already, it makes for a relatively cheap private cloud that also allows for smaller and or lighter footprint devices that can stream remotely from your home storage and also know that your nfs / remote cloud is under control of someone you trust (yourself)

@jaltekruse, reach out to me at the email on my profile, I am starting up similar stuff and may have some cross population ideas / leads

Opensource project pages and most Open Source centric / leaning blogs are good sources for info on these sorts of things.

Looks to be a lovely 'virtual' conference aka you can be anywhere, no plane or bus fare needed, Just need yourself, interest in a topic (or a few) and a data connection be it mobile, ethernet or wifi...
