I figure since Amarok and Rhythmbox both have daap plugins and are gpl, that either could be used as a reference. It supports a huge number of audio formats and external services. ![]() I have no idea how difficult an integration this would be. Download: (Free) Clementine Clementine is one of the best free. I'm not sure if this is a great fit for Clementine since it presents a single unified library today you'd need to solve problems like how to notify a user that the server was not responsive, or how to handle content overlap. Doing so will 'switch' to that library and auto-populate the normal library categories. Should this feature be called "Daap", "Digital Audio Access Protocol", "iTunes Libraries", or something else? DAAP doesn't have an icon associated with it, but Clementine already includes some iTunes and other commercial iconography so maybe an imported iTunes/Apple Music icon would be acceptable.įWIW, the current behavior in Apple Music is that there's a little drop-down arrow next to 'Library' on the left side of the main window if daap libraries are discovered, and you can select an auto-discovered daap library from there. If someone were to add support for this, what should it look like in the app? Should daap libraries show up under Library, Internet, Devices, or a new category? Should daap servers be auto-discovered (looks like Clementine already depends on Avahi) or require manual setup in Settings? Should discovery be enabled by default? Is support for authentication a critical feature? iTunes-via-WINE works, but it's annoying to set up. Rhythmbox has good support but is gtk-only and isn't to everyone's tastes. Amarok has a plugin for it that doesn't work, and is not available on recent versions of e.g. ![]() SSHFS/NFS is definitely easier to deal with, but at this point there are not many maintained applications with working daap support on Linux.
