How to install shairport-sync (aarch64)
AirTunes emulator. Multi-Room with Audio Synchronisation
Install
sudo yum -y install https://extras.getpagespeed.com/release-latest.rpm sudo yum -y install shairport-sync
Description
Shairport Sync emulates an AirPort Express for the purpose of streaming audio from iTunes, iPods, iPhones, iPads and AppleTVs. Audio played by a Shairport Sync-powered device stays synchronised with the source and hence with similar devices playing the same source. Thus, for example, synchronised multi-room audio is possible without difficulty. (Hence the name Shairport Sync, BTW.) Shairport Sync does not support AirPlay video or photo streaming.
Architecture
Optimized for aarch64 (ARM64) architecture. It can be used on AWS Graviton instances, as well as Raspberry Pi 4 and newer.
