Digital Audio Control Protocol
open-in-new
<p>Digital Audio Control Protocol (DACP) is a protocol used by <a href="/facts/ITunes/pdXPE33T">iTunes</a> and other audio player and server applications on <a href="/facts/Macintosh/8GhnXTK0">Mac</a>, <a href="/facts/Windows/bwhAhuSL">Windows</a> and <a href="/facts/Linux/9FvCKSTq">Linux</a> computers, enabling remote control by mobile devices such as <a href="/facts/IPhone/h5WeKRl9">iPhone</a> and <a href="/facts/Android_(operating_system)/nNyHb0xz">Android</a> phones and tablet computers. By connecting the personal computer to loudspeakers the mobile device is used as a two-way remote control, allowing selection and control of music playback within a traditional listening environment such as a home or apartment. </p>
