RPlay v0.03

Benjamin de Callatay April 22, 2011

What it is

This program is in alpha version. It emulates an Airport Express for the purpose of streaming music from iTunes and compatible iPods. It implements a server for the Apple RAOP protocol.

Installation

Double clicking on RPlay.jar in the DIST folder should be enough...

Thanks

Big thanks to David Hammerton for releasing an ALAC decoder and to soiaf for porting it to Java (https://github.com/soiaf/Java-Apple-Lossless-decoder). Thanks to Jame Laird for his C implementation (shairport - https://github.com/albertz/shairport) Thanks to anyone involved in one of the libraries i used for creating this software.
