Digital Audio Control Protocol

Digital Audio Control Protocol (DACP) is a protocol used by the Apple Inc.'s Remote application (app) on the iPhone and iPod Touch to control iTunes running on a remote computer.

By connecting the remote computer either directly to loudspeakers, or indirectly, for example via Apple's Airport Express, the iPhone or iPod Touch can be used as a two way WLAN music remote control.

DACP Servers

Third party DACP Servers that conform to the latest DACP specification. These servers should be able to be connected to from any valid DACP client such as Apple Inc.'s Remote application (app) on the iPhone or TunesRemote for Google Android applications.

Apple iTunes

Apple Inc. iTunes is the original DACP server and the specification was created specifically for Itunes remote control.
