#### Hi-fi music player with bit-perfect playback

RSPlayer is a music player built for high-quality playback of local
music libraries. It decodes FLAC, WAV, ALAC, DSD (DSF/DFF), MP3, AAC,
Ogg and more, and can send audio bit-perfect to a USB DAC via direct
ALSA access, or through PipeWire/PulseAudio for everyday listening.

Features:

* Fast library scanning with rich metadata, album art and lyrics
* Gapless playback, ReplayGain/loudness analysis and a parametric DSP chain
* Bit-perfect exclusive output to USB DACs, including DSD
* Internet radio and streaming metadata
* Multiroom: group RSPlayer instances on your LAN for synchronized playback
* Media key / MPRIS integration

The desktop app embeds the same engine that powers the headless RSPlayer
server, which you can also run on a Raspberry Pi, NAS or home server and
control from any browser.

For bit-perfect direct ALSA output to a USB DAC, connect the alsa
interface:

```
 sudo snap connect rsplayer:alsa
```

For music libraries on external/removable drives (/media, /mnt):

```
 sudo snap connect rsplayer:removable-media
```

Note: mounting network shares from inside the app and system power
actions are not available in the snap sandbox.
