# OwnTone
|
||
|
||
OwnTone is a media server that lets you play audio sources such as local files,
|
||
Spotify, pipe input or internet radio to AirPlay 1 and 2 receivers, Chromecast
|
||
receivers, Roku Soundbridge, a browser or the server’s own sound system. Or you
|
||
can listen to your music via any client that supports mp3 streaming.
|
||
|
||
You control the server via a web interface, Apple Remote, an Android remote
|
||
(e.g. Retune), an MPD client, json API or DACP.
|
||
|
||
OwnTone also serves local files via the Digital Audio Access Protocol (DAAP) to
|
||
iTunes (Windows), Apple Music (MacOS) and Rhythmbox (Linux), and via the Roku
|
||
Server Protocol (RSP) to Roku devices.
|
||
|
||
Runs on Linux, BSD and MacOS.
|
||
|
||
OwnTone was previously called forked-daapd, which again was a rewrite of
|
||
mt-daapd (Firefly Media Server).
|
