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 AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Oracle Linux and RHEL.
