Mopidy and Android device as a speaker

Configuration
1

Allright, so I am using an old android device to use for my TTS announcements and I have it connected on my stereo system. I have speakers all over my house and this is working great. I feel like i have JARVIS.
The thing now is that I am trying to setup mopidy and icecast2 to stream music to the same android device. The purpose is to play any song I want using that android device.
I have messed so much my setup that I have no idea if my settings are correct at this moment. Can anyone advise please?

Can you please elaborate how you used ā€˜old android device for TTS announcementsā€™ ?

Iā€™m trying to do the same with my old android phone using snapcast (apk available for android). Why do you want to use icecast instead?

I have setup lannouncer on that device. So whatever text I am sending, it just announces it.
Here is how you can set it up.

There is no particular reason for it. I am willing to discuss it if you like. I just chose icecast. I have no experience on that, so I went for what sounded better I guess.
I have given up on that project since I coulndnt figure it out but if any ideas come up, I can set it up all over again.
My purpose is still the same as my original post. I want to play music from that device (use it as a speaker).
I recently bought a second raspberry pi and have it as a multipurpose device. I keep trying different things on it. You think I can put it in use as a media center?

I know that snapcast allows to continous resync between devices (while icecast allows only to play the same media).

So I think snapcast is more suggested.

Many project (inside and outside this forum) are made using mopidy + snapcast on a raspberry pi.

I want also to recycicle 2 old android phones with this purpose. I connected it to some logitech anywhere ipod speaker and it ā€œworksā€ but Iā€™m not very satisfied about the overall quality.

Depending on the network traffic the music somentimes is not fluent. So I think I will move also to a pi 3.

Kann man die App Lannouncher noch irgendwo downloaden oder gibt es eine Alternative?
