My home library is shared from my server to several devices in the house. Distributed audio is handled by analog and USB inputs to my trusty [Pioneer Elite SC-79](https://hometheaterhifi.com/reviews/receiver-processor/receivers/pioneer-sc-79-9-1-a-v-receiver/) home theatre receiver. The USB audio is used only in the main zone, the home theatre area. The analog is used for a second zone output to five different rooms using a distribution system. All can be managed using either the iTunes Home Server combined with Apple's Remote app, or using DLNA handled from the server using Asset uPNP from Illustrate. My mobile listening device is an [iBasso DX160](https://ibasso.com/product/dx160/) digital audio player. It uses an older version of Android OD (8.1) but since it is dedicated to just being a player this is more than sufficient. My current favorite headphone pairing are the [KZ ZAX](https://kz-audio.com/kz-zax.html) that fit just right and have a great sound signature for my listening taste. I have several player apps installed, it depends on what I'm doing and sometimes just my mood which one I use. I have posted some reviews of these here for reference. > [@Android Media Players](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/android-media-players/57992): > > There are many players on the Android platform, but almost all use the base Android APIs and media library that limits their functionality and performance that don’t make them much different than the stock player other than cosmetically.

It builds its’ own database library, and key to me is that it supports the use of sort tags for Album, Artist, AlbumArtist, and Composer. It also supports multi artist an… My work phone is an iPhone 12. It gets the job done, but isn't as flexible as Android. Yet surprisingly there are still some really good player apps that break the standards that Apple has established. Maybe I'll review some of those in the near future. EDIT: I have started an iOS music player thread here. > [@iOS Media Players](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/ios-media-players/58847/2): > > A relatively new player app for iOS that seems to be developing well is [BTR AMP](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/btr-amp/id1489180128?mt=8) (by [Beyond The Rapids Labs](https://btrlabs.com/btramp/)). It is a paid app, with monthly, annual, and infinity options. There is a trial opportunity for the first month, so you have plenty of time to test drive it to see if it suits your player preferences. The main player window itself has a few options to tailor the colour choices for the accents, as well as background options to work with Dark mode.
