Music transmission in a modern world - avoiding lag issues?

We have had a few come back around and tell us the sync was off. When we asked them what their radio was set to, in each instance they have "delayed" the channel (as some can do) and they didn't realize it. We had to show several how to clear the delay. Most people don't know about all this "fancy stuff" they have. Since it doesn't matter for their regular listening (usually on SXM), they never even think in that area.

If we have to go to wifi feed, we might as well hang it up. Too many variables, too many different settings, too many people not knowing how to use the tools they have.
 
Maybe Bluetooth Auracast might be a future option for such requirements. It was only announced a few days ago (June 2022) for 1 to many instead of the traditional 1 to 1 audio casting.
 
I had a look at CineWav but it appears these are for set movies/events and not for livestreaming custom music in a private setting.

I like the option of a "push to listen" set up, this could also be easily set up through amp speakers where the timer button activates the power to the speakers whereas the amp is always on.

I suppose other options would be to create a live music stream through something like zoom/vimeo and set it up to play so it is in sync to the lights, although this would also require a paid subscription to prevent the "meeting" being cut off after 45 minutes.

Seems like there is no simple solution yet. I guess I'll stick with the outdoor speakers with a limited playing time to prevent disturbing the neighbours late at night

This seems like a perfect solution, will be interesting to see what the pricing and requirements are for this type of thing
 
I was just looking through the xLights support group and found a system called AudioFetch. I dont know if anyone has had experience with it but i just thought i'd bring it up.
Their sender units seem to be extremely expensive, but it may be of someones interest
