One of my offspring just sent me an email about the esp-muse-luxe product which runs LMS on an esp32. He seems quite impressed.
it looks quite interesting(another route down the rabbit hole).
I followed this project:
https://github.com/sle118/squeezelite-esp32
I may repurpose some of my redundant esp32s with I2s or spdif dacs..... to hell with the hidden code.

Interesting! 
#3 Re: esp-muse
a bit of an addendum....
I should have said the esp32 runs squeezelite, and not LMS.
further, the old esp32s aren't compatible. It requires the later models with PSRAM, ie esp32 WROVER and the like.
The basic premise still holds though, esp32(£5) + I2s dac(£5) + any 5v amp module and speakers...internet radio stream for less than £20.
It's got to be viable surely. Plus it's possible to add a rotary and 3" TFT to select a station for another £5-£10.
more later when I've chased some bugs in the audio library.

I've been trying valiantly to repurpose these old esp32s, specifically with internet radio....
banging my head so far but managed to get connected to many streams but so far can't get anything out of the i2s dac.
I can get connected to RP and a few others with flac and mp3 but the feedback on the monitor persistently says
"weak stream, may be subject to dropouts"
so far I've tried 2 dacs but don't get any output...
when I had problems like this with weather stations it was because of weak power supplies through the usb connection. I'll try with a 3 amp supply and see if it makes any difference..

Watching!

progress!
I've now got internet radio working in it's basic form.
I struggled because the new breed of esp32 boards are not documented as well as they could imo. I finally got an S3 version designated n16r8 to compile and upload. If anybody is interested I can give more details(It's nerdy, believe me).
I have the mini amp and the speakers but ordered the wrong TFT screen. The plan is to put it all in an acrylic box for the kitchen.
The photo shows the basic set up, which cost the princely sum of £11(£8 for board and £3 for the dac)..It's running mp3 at 320kbps at the mo but I'll investigate higher bit rates as time goes by. Fwiw I don't need anything higher in the kitchen.
In regard to the problems mentioned in an earlier post...there was a delay because I didn't know about the solder bridges that are required on these dacs. It took me ages to discover this info...waily waily.

Ha, waily waily..innit always the case..
I've just spent 6 weeks on and off piecing together the info for this and just discovered it's all available in one place:
