---+!! !RockIR (Infrared/DAP module)

%TOC%

---
---++ Purpose

   * Universal host DAP compatibility
   * Setting standards for interoperability between players
   * Enhancing the market playing field for digital audio
   * Promoting the community driven design of F/OSS to make a tangible product for the masses
   * Fun!!

---
---++ Ok, what is it??

!RockIR will be a seamless way to connect older and present digital audio devices to a gateway of freedom; transmitting data wirelessly through short range communication as to not be interfering in a world of many devices, flipping through channels on your television via a handy all-around infrared remote, and after charging, ready to become an independent player altogether.
