Here in Germany you have to be careful when setting up a homemade radio signal - it might be illegal depending on frequency and transmit power.

I personally prefer a combination of

  duckdns.org
  Beets
  Navidrome
  Audiobookshelf
  Substreamer / DSub 
  PaulWoitaschek/Voice / Audiobookshelf
  Wireguard
You can even make a script do download smart playlists to usb-sticks for kitchen radios without wifi or old car USB.

In Germany and everywhere else. The difference is how much it's enforced.

Note that this project isn't using that horrible Raspberry Pi GPIO PWM hack that shits all over RF but an off-the-shelf low power car FM transmitter product. I guess if someone knocks on your door you can point your finger to whoever in Germany sold you that.

there are similar concerns in the US but you can legally send a signal a couple hundred feet in most cases
