Phonos
Phonos adds Radio Note Blocks, Loudspeakers, Boomboxes and Radio Jukeboxes that carry sound across a Minecraft world.
What it does
Radio Note Blocks send audio to Loudspeakers in the same way a normal note block plays a note. Channel Tuners set a radio component to one of 20 channels numbered 0 to 19, and Note Block Tuners copy, adjust and set the note of a Radio Note Block. Each dimension keeps its own channel set, so the same number can mean something different elsewhere.
Loudspeakers placed in a series tuned to the same channel act like a jukebox, and a Radio Jukebox receiving that channel plays whatever is passed along. Boomboxes behave like Loudspeakers and also play the audio they hold, which makes them portable. Some other components are available as well.
Phonos is published for Fabric and Quilt on 1.16.4 – 1.18.2, with six release versions and snapshot builds. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Patchouli is optional and adds an in-game guidebook. The code is under the MIT License and is open source.

Use cases
Music across a base
A series of Loudspeakers tuned to one channel can carry sound from a single source throughout a large build.
Radio jukebox rooms
A Radio Jukebox on a channel receives whatever the tuned Radio Note Blocks send, letting one room play music from another.
Who it’s for: Players who build sound systems or music rooms, and server owners who want shared audio across several areas of a world. Clients and servers both need the mod for the channels to work.
Questions
Does Phonos need Fabric API?
Must the server have Phonos installed?
Is the Patchouli guidebook needed?

What the author says
Optionally requires Patchouli to view the guidebook. On the right are a series of Loudspeakers, all tuned to the same channel as the jukebox. They are receiving audio from the Radio Jukebox and playing it. All of the components are tuned to channel 3. There are 20 channels (0-19) to choose from, per dimension.
