-Usage of [soundbox][1] devices requires to use [ffmpeg][3] on the command line
-and to compute IPv6 link-local addresses from MAC addresses.
+`soundbox-app` is the official graphical application to stream audio to one or
+multiple [soundbox][1] devices.
-This is tedious and error prone. This app should make using soundbox way easier.
+Currently sound can only be streamed from web radio URLs, platform support is
+limited to Linux and a hand-written configuration file is required. See the
+[README.md][4] for details.
The main logic is developed separately in the [soundbox-go][2] Go library.
