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.
