Snapcast

What is Snapcast?

Snapcast is a versatile multiroom audio solution that enables synchronized playback across multiple devices. It functions as a client-server system, where the server collects and distributes audio to the connected clients, ensuring precise time synchronization for seamless, cohesive sound throughout a space. Snapcast integrates with popular music players like MPD and Mopidy, extending their capabilities to deliver a Sonos-like multiroom experience. Users can group clients to play the same audio stream simultaneously, or leverage the parallel input feature to route multiple audio sources to the server concurrently. With its flexible architecture and seamless integration, Snapcast empowers users to create immersive, synchronized audio environments tailored to their needs
