About DAAP Media Player
DAAP Media Player allows you to stream your music from a DAAP share such as mt-daapd (firefly), Rhythmbox, forked-daapd, tangerine, most NAS devices such as FreeNAS, QNAP servers, and older versions of iTunes.
DAAP is a proprietary protocol similar to HTTP developed by Apple for use with iTunes music sharing. Still used by modern versions of iTunes, the computer community has reverse engineered an older version of this protocol for streaming their own music. This application provides this functionality on an Android device.
DAAP Media Player is an open source application on github https://github.com/chrismiceli/daap-client
Features include:
* Stream music without downloading the whole song!
* Search and voice search songs
* Passwords
* Handle multiple servers
* Random/Shuffle and Repeat
* Playlist and Queue support
* Widget
* Home screen shortcut
1. Long press home screen
2. Click Shortcuts
3. Click DAAP - Add Server

* Last.fm scrobbler support

Running DAAP as a plugin on openmediavault for raspberry pi 3 model B. It's glorious to have your own network attached radio service for social events.

This app is one of only a few on the market that works with the DAAP proticall. Its allso nice and small. And runs in the background. Even when browsing the web.

really great and it's free. It still really great in 2015. I can stream my music to my car radio while I'm driving using a bluetooth connection. The DAAP interface is a lot safer to use while you're driving than google music for example.

This is the best DAAP player I've found for my phone. Unfortunately, all that means is that, unlike all the other players, it works once in a while, instead of never.

Installed Firefly on my Netgear ReadyNAS NV+, put it in the DMZ, installed DAAP on my Android, watched the video, and in 60 seconds I am listening to my home music collection over the ATT 3G network in excellent quality. This is stupid-simple. Awesome!!!

Nice app! I've been using it with Rhythmbox and I've found a couple of oddities, but since Rhythmbox crashed a couple of times, I don't think is DAAP Media Player fault.

Worked perfectly over wifi & 3G (3rd party setup required for 3G). Found my Firefly server almost immediately via wifi, very easy to add servers if needed.

Great App: found my NAS/firefly at once. But I really miss "Album artist" as a filter/tab. Can I report this as a wish? Otherwise it would be a 4/5 star

Uses only the resources to stream the song nothing more. I was impressed very much with this app I used this app when I was cutting the grass and I have a big yard, I have wireless repeater about mid way. And it was switching between AP and this app did not shudder one bit. Even if my signal was quite weak. It uses only the amount of data of however big that single song is.

Good auto-discover of server. No NowPlaying, no album art. No genres. Playlists sorted by artist. Queuing of tracks only, can't queue an album.

But that's about all I can say at the moment as this app refuses to play about half of my music with no reason given. It plays some music files just fine, even files that need transcoded, but, it loads that now playing info for a lot of files but then just sits there staring.

UI is a little clunky, but talks to my forked-daap linux server perfectly. Plays flac too : suspect this depends on my device having flac support at the OS level. Try cyanogenmod if yours doesn't

My DAAP Server is Rhythmbox running on ubuntu. MP3 format works very well, but when playing the song with OGG format, this player cannot play the entire song, only 90% of the song, and then it will suddenly jump to the next song.

Simple, lightweight, and works perfectly.
