{{Short description|Remote control protocol for audio players}}
'''Digital Audio Control Protocol''' ('''DACP''') is a protocol used by [[iTunes]] and other audio player and server applications on [[Macintosh|Mac]], [[Windows]] and [[Linux]] computers, enabling remote control by mobile devices such as [[iPhone]] and [[Android (operating system)|Android]] 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.

==Clients==
Compliant DACP clients can connect to any DACP enabled server. Clients are available for multiple desktop and mobile platforms.
