# OwnTone (previously forked-daapd)
|
|
|
|
OwnTone is a Linux/FreeBSD DAAP (iTunes), MPD (Music Player Daemon) and
|
|
RSP (Roku) media server.
|
|
|
|
It supports AirPlay devices/speakers, Apple Remote (and compatibles),
|
|
MPD clients, Chromecast, network streaming, internet radio, Spotify and LastFM.
|
|
|
|
It does not support streaming video by AirPlay nor Chromecast.
|
|
|
|
DAAP stands for Digital Audio Access Protocol which is the protocol used
|
|
by iTunes and friends to share/stream media libraries over the network.
|
|
|
|
OwnTone was previously called forked-daapd, which again was a rewrite of
|
|
mt-daapd (Firefly Media Server).
