The Ares Player plays music and sounds during (pen & paper) role-playing games. The music and sounds are selected previously in the Ares Editor (an Windows program), fitting to the situations in the game. During the game, you switch between them using the Ares Controller, either on the same device or on another device.

See http://aresrpg.sourceforge.net/index.html for more information.

Limitations compared to the Ares Player for Windows / Linux: doesn't have an integrated web server (so you need to use a Controller app, not a browser); can't stream to icecast.
