I have to confess to being more of an electrical player, but my solution works just as well with my acoustic-electrics.
I used a guitar processor in place of an amp. In this case it's a Vox Tone Lab.
It does have an acoustic amp setting, and that's where my acoustics get their voices.
The Tone Lab feeds a mixer that allows me to play along with a CD player, turntable, lap top, etc. Then the mixer outputs to a stereo amp where I can select between head phones or speakers. With the head phones I can practice any time time at pretty much any volume that I want.
There are a number of processors out there that an acoustic player might employ. You will need to add some form of pickup to your instrument, but there is a lot of variety in that area also.
