#### 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.

## Enable snaps on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and install RSPlayer

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap is available for [Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8](https://www.redhat.com/en/enterprise-linux-8) and RHEL 7, from the 7.6 release onward.

The packages for RHEL 7, RHEL 8, and RHEL 9 are in each distribution’s respective [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The instructions for adding this repository diverge slightly between RHEL 7, RHEL 8 and RHEL 9, which is why they’re listed separately below.

The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 9** with the following command:

```
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf upgrade
```

The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 8** with the following command:

```
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf upgrade
```

The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 7** with the following command:

```
sudo rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
```

Adding the *optional* and *extras* repositories is also recommended:

```
sudo subscription-manager repos --enable "rhel-*-optional-rpms" --enable "rhel-*-extras-rpms"
sudo yum update
```

Snap can now be installed as follows:

```
sudo yum install snapd
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again or restart your system to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
