Listening on your Mobile Device¶

iOS¶

On iOS, the options are limited because there are no Media Client apps with DAAP support and because Apple doesn't allow AirPlay receiver apps. OwnTone also can't share music via Home Sharing, which is the protocol Apple uses for sharing media between devices.

That leaves the following options, which all rely on OwnTone's streaming:

• listen via the web interface
• use a MPD client app that supports local playback
• connect to the streaming endpoint with a media player like VLC

Android¶

On Android, you can use the same streaming methods described for iOS, but you can also find apps that act as AirPlay receivers.
