=============
Shairport Sync is an AirPlay audio player – it plays audio streamed from iTunes, iOS, Apple TV and macOS devices and AirPlay sources such as Quicktime Player and [ForkedDaapd](http://ejurgensen.github.io/forked-daapd/), among others.
Audio played by a Shairport Sync-powered device stays synchronised with the source and hence with similar devices playing the same source. In this way, synchronised multi-room audio is possible for players that support it, such as iTunes.

Shairport Sync runs on Linux, FreeBSD and OpenBSD. It does not support AirPlay video or photo streaming.

* Output frame rates of 44,100, 88,200, 176,000 or 352,000 frames per second.
* Fast Response — With hardware volume control, response is instantaneous; otherwise the response time is 0.20 seconds with `alsa`, 0.35 seconds with `sndio`.
* Non-Interruptible — Shairport Sync sends back a "busy" signal if it's already playing audio from another source, so other sources can't disrupt an existing Shairport Sync session. (If a source disappears without warning, the session automatically terminates after two minutes and the device becomes available again.)
* Metadata — Shairport Sync can deliver metadata supplied by the source, such as Album Name, Artist Name, Cover Art, etc. through a pipe or UDP socket to a recipient application program — see https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync-metadata-reader for a sample recipient. Sources that supply metadata include iTunes and the Music app in iOS.

It also has limited support for [libao](https://xiph.org/ao/) and for [`soundio`](http://libsound.io).
* An [MPRIS](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/mpris-spec/2.2/) interface, partially complete and very functional, including access to metadata and artwork, and some limited remote control.
