[slim] OT: looking for iPhone music player with some LMS-like features

2014-10-13 Thread aubuti
Over the summer I got an iPhone 5s and am constantly appalled by how limited the stock music player is. I've looked at a couple alternatives and still haven't found the perfect solution. I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch that is still back on iOS 4.x or something and the interface on its music

And all of this for an ARM6 device for which Apple made it really, really hard to submit Apps to the store since two years ago and it's now almost impossible (unless you like to submit untested Apps). You are looking for an App that is at least three years old, probably four years. I would not

But I don't want the old app. I want a new app, that works in iOS 8, with a couple different features from the stock app. I understand that all the momentum is toward streaming apps, social media integration, smart playlists, etc. But I keep thinking someone out there must appreciate the desire

Ah. Ok. Yea, I think most users are happy with the stock App and the people store less and less music on the device (heck, on a 16 GB device you probably can't update to iOS 8 with any music stored) so developers don't look to interested... I'll have to finally do that download mode for iPeng...

I feel your pain! I have started using an app called Picky. I don't remember if it is free or not, but it is on the app store. My understanding is that the developer created this app when people started complaining about the changes Apple made to the music app in IOS7. Picky is pretty similar

I think I may go for the Transporter. It looks the business and I like the idea of the large display. Buying it from the US, I guess a travel plug US to UK will be needed. I don't need to worry about the 240V I guess? If I need to use the unit itself, the one without the knob, it's a touch

It should be no problem then. Just a standard lead that would plug into a monitor, pc etc. I've checked the description on eBay and it states AC 100-240. Although I guess the description is taken from the web somewhere. I'm not sure why it says the box contents 'power supply' This is the item:

Thanks for the pointer to Picky. It ticks both of the two boxes I set out. It only lacks the car feature I listed as a bonus, but Cartunes and several others can cover that. The Picky app is $1.99 and seems worth it. Thanks.

Great topic ! Does anyone of those players override the original music player in iOS7 especially in a car . I suffer the ( insufferable ) well known iOS7 bug that makes the music player automagically start playing music if my car media player is on , no and the music player does not even have to
