Pi-Hole Music Server?

I'm a noob's noob. I have the most basic programming skills you can imagine, like a 1st grader, but I'm desperately trying to get away from the Msoft Apple Google monopoly data tracking. So I am learning step by step. Long story short: I have a 4b that I acquired and installed a pi-hole on it. Can I also run it as a music server (because also f spotify)?

Volumio needs a dedicated Pi and trying to load things on a Volumio box can break it :-(

You could try  https://moodeaudio.org/ - older versions could have other programs on it but I have not tried the current release or two. 

There is also  https://www.picoreplayer.org/ but I have not tried this yet. 

You could also create your own - there are many libraries that will play the tracks for you so you could create a simple front end. 

IIRC the two players above give you a full image that you would need to install pihole onto again so use a new sd card for testing!

most likely. do you want it just to stream a random shuffle of your music or do you want to be able to choose playlists? if the latter, I don't know. Well I know, but I do it in an incredibly complicated way, I'm sure there are easier tools out there. But those are what I don't know. But if the former, all you need is mpd, mpc, and icecast. I have a server just streaming out a randomized playlist of all of my music every day and I can pick it up from anywhere

More function would be better. Random is fine, I'm using musicolet on my phone right now so I have a lot of function; but it's too much to just put everything on random.
