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.
Built for Amazon Linux.
