How to install shairport-sync in CentOS/RHEL 9 (x86_64)
AirTunes emulator. Multi-Room with Audio Synchronisation
Install
sudo dnf -y install https://extras.getpagespeed.com/release-latest.rpm sudo dnf -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.
Compatibility
This package is compatible with all RHEL-based distributions, including CentOS, AlmaLinux, Oracle Linux, Rocky Linux, etc.
