Different systems playing same music simultaneously

I have four different systems located in different rooms.
Is there a way to make them play the same music like a multi-room system?
Could I send the signal from one source to all the systems at the same time?
Each system has its own amplifier and speakers.
Is bluetooth an option? Can I use a transmitter and several receivers?
Does anyone have this kind of setup?

I have Sonos speakers in several rooms and three complete systems, Media room, shop and garage. You put a small Sonos "Connect" on each system and everything talks to everything via your wireless network. You run the whole thing with an app on your phone. Very cool to have the whole house going at once. Great way to get your wife to commit suicide:)

One imagines nobody has heard of the problems associated with multiple speaker rooms or, if they have, assume just because the speakers/systems are in separate rooms they don’t affect each other. Even if they don’t act acoustically. It’s similar to the concept that cell phones in the room degrade the sound. Is that too advanced?

No, not at all too advanced. Knowing that cell phones in the room destroys the sound is, um, like day 1... helllllooooo

Real crying shame Google ceased production of the Chromecast Audio puck.
Great little device.
I have two of them on two different systems and control them from either Google Home or bubble UPnP on my droid phone.
No issues at all.
They see Qobuz, tidal, Spotify and my nas on the PC.
Not bad for $40 a pop of Fleabay.
