DAAP (iTunes), MPD (Music Player Daemon) and RSP (Roku) media server

OwnTone is a 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.
