# Listening on your Mobile Device | ||
|
||
## iOS | ||
|
||
On iOS, the options are limited because there are no Media Client apps with DAAP | ||
support and because Apple doesn't allow AirPlay receiver apps. OwnTone also | ||
can't share music via Home Sharing, which is the protocol Apple uses for sharing | ||
media between devices. | ||
|
||
That leaves the following options, which all rely on OwnTone's streaming: | ||
|
||
- listen via the [web interface](web.md) | ||
- use a [MPD client app](../control-clients/mobile.md#mpd-client-apps) that supports local playback | ||
- connect to the [streaming](streaming.md) endpoint with a media player like VLC | ||
|
||
## Android | ||
|
||
On Android, you can use the same streaming methods described for iOS, but you | ||
can also find apps that act as AirPlay receivers. |

# Roku devices/speakers | ||
|
||
OwnTone can stream audio to classic RSP/RCP-based devices like Roku Soundbridge | ||
M1001 and M2000. | ||
|
||
If the source file is in a non-supported format, like flac, OwnTone will | ||
transcode to wav. Transmitting wav requires some bandwidth and the legacy | ||
network interfaces of these devices may struggle with that. If so, you can | ||
change the transcoding format for the speaker to alac via the [JSON API](../json-api.md#change-an-output). |

# Listening to Audio in a Browser | ||
|
||
To listen to audio being played by OwnTone in a browser, follow these | ||
steps: | ||
|
||
1. Start playing audio in OwnTone. | ||
2. In the web interface, activate the stream in the output menu by clicking | ||
on the icon :material-broadcast: next to HTTP Stream. | ||
After a few seconds, the audio should play in the background [^1]. | ||
|
||
![Outputs](../assets/images/screenshot-outputs.png){: class="zoom" } | ||
|
||
For the streaming option to work, MP3 encoding must be supported by | ||
`libavcodec`. If it is not, a message will appear in the log file. For example, | ||
on Debian or Ubuntu, MP3 encoding support is provided by the package | ||
`libavcodec-extra`. | ||
|
||
[^1]: On iOS devices, playing audio in the background when the device is locked | ||
is not supported in a private browser tab. |
