NAME

       snapclient - Snapcast client

SYNOPSIS

       snapclient [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

       Snapcast  is  a  multi-room  client-server  audio  player,  where  all  clients  are  time
       synchronized with the server to play perfectly synced audio. It's not a standalone player,
       but  an  extension  that  turns  your  existing  audio player into a Sonos-like multi-room
       solution.
       The server's audio input is a named pipe `/tmp/snapfifo`. All data that is fed  into  this
       file  will  be send to the connected clients. One of the most generic ways to use Snapcast
       is in conjunction with the music player daemon or Mopidy, which can be configured to use a
       named pipe as audio output.
