more [TLDR: If you’re serious about your music library and playback, stop looking, this is the one.] I have tried many different music player app solutions as an alternative to the native Music app for better quality playback. This is the only one I’ve tried that works well for listening to music directly through USB in the car. All of the other apps have issues with starting and stopping, showing the wrong number of songs in an album or playlist, or the music app interrupts playback during use and you have to go back to the app you wanted to use and try again; not this one. The ReplayGain implementation is robust and even follows peak tags, an important feature that is often left out. USB playback works perfectly with dongles or dac/amps and sounds great. The integration with the local library is excellent and simple. I especially like the interface of the app with easy navigation and shortcuts to access artist and albums. There is a great deal of customization options too. There’s not a feature I can think of that I feel was missed. The only thing that I could think to ask for is a macOS or a full-size version, that would be awesome. If you have a local library, and/or want to use it with CarPlay or iPod interface, this is it.
Developer Response Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear that BTR AMP meets your needs for high-quality playback, especially through USB in the car.

I have been using BTR AMP for about three weeks and I thoroughly love this app! It was extremely intuitive to set up and use. The features are also easy to understand. I have about 4900 songs from my personal library that were transferred to my phone via iTunes. BTR AMP immediately accessed the songs for use within the app. I was instantly impressed with the way it presented my music to me in a completely different (and better) way than I had experienced with Apple Music. For example, as I played my playlists, BTR AMP generated statistics about my listening habits and presented alternative playlists from the ones I had. In addition, I could edit the meta-data on the tracks to improve my library. Great job managing my music in a more enjoyable way than I had experienced before! I subscribed to the Infinity Membership as it is totally reasonable for a lifetime ride with BRT AMP's vision of how to enjoy your own musical experience.

This is an amazing app. There is nothing else like it on the App store. Sure, there are apps that present music from iTunes, from network sources, and from proprietary sources (e.g., Plex), but if you have a well curated music collection not stored in iTunes (Music app) and you want to bring your entire collection with you on the road, BTR Amp is fantastic. For JRiver users, use a "handheld folder" to export your library, then copy it into BTR Amp. Here's the killer feature: Smart Playlists! Yes, you can create smart playlists in BTR Amp! Of course you can create manual ones too, but this is the only app I've seen that reads the tags (including Rating tag) and lets the user create smart playlists. This is the App that has replaced Music (iTunes) for me on my iPhone and iPad. As I use the app more and more, I'm amazed by the level of items I can customize that I will actually use! 5 stars and the app is getting better monthly.

Updated from 3 stars after some help from support.This app is perfect for my use case. It supports FLAC and MP3 (and probably others, but that’s all I have in my library), the CarPlay and Siri integration both work, the app is highly customizable, and the support team is extremely responsive and helpful. Note that this app cannot be used without a $1/month or $10/year subscription fee, or a $30 one-off purchase, but it’s well worth the price of admission for a local music player with full integration with the rest of iOS. It took a bit for me to figure out some of the quirks of the app and how it handles the library, but a couple emails to support got me sorted out. There are some features like bulk editing coming down the development pipeline that will make things a lot nicer, but even as-is it’s excellent.

Version 22.2.2 is a stability and Mac-compatibility update.
IMPROVED
• Tapping near the menu or drag handle on a play queue row no longer accidentally starts playback.
• On a Mac, songs that live in iCloud or are protected now show a message explaining why they can't play here instead of failing silently.
FIXED
• Repeat One went silent at the end of the song with gapless playback on. It now loops seamlessly, and seeking near the end of a track hands off to the next song without a gap.
• The progress slider stayed at 100% after the last song in the queue finished.
• On a Mac, songs from the Music app would not play. The app now asks for access to your Music folder once and remembers it.
• On a Mac, a folder mounted in Files had to be picked again after every relaunch.
• Playlist row numbers flickered while a song played, and the progress bar sometimes did not move to the new song after a skip.
• A crash when a WiFi Transfer upload arrived without a file.

22.2.2 Oct 7
This hotfix resolves the issue that prevented Mac users from verifying their in-app purchases. Please note that BTR AMP now requires iOS 15 or later.
22.2.1 Oct 2
Version 22.2 introduces a dedicated audiobook mode, a complete rewrite of the CarPlay module, along with a long list of minor improvements and fixes.
NEW
• Audiobook Mode. M4B files and songs marked as audiobooks play one at a time with skip-back and skip-forward controls on the player, lock screen, and CarPlay. Books remember their own playback speed, stop at the end, and stay out of shuffle and auto-play. Turn it on or off under Settings > Player > Audiobooks.
• CarPlay shows chaptered audiobooks chapter by chapter, with the chapter title and progress on Now Playing, previous and next chapter buttons, and a chapter list.
• Pick any playback speed from 0.5x to 3.0x in 0.1x steps, on the player and in CarPlay.
• Playback speed and sleep timer buttons are now right on the player.
• Move songs without dragging. The play queue and your manual playlists have a new Move menu with To Top, To Next, To Position, and To Bottom, and it works on a selection of songs. Playlist rows now show their position number.
• Find SMB servers on your network automatically. Tap Find Servers in SMB settings to see Macs, NAS devices, and Windows PCs and pick one instead of typing an address.
• Sort songs by file name, on every song list and in the smart-playlist builder.
• Sort options on shortcut tabs and on Featured "See All" lists.
• Keep Search Bar Visible, a new option under Settings > Interface, keeps search at the top of your lists so you don't have to scroll back up.
IMPROVED
• CarPlay has been rebuilt from the ground up for reliability, with faster startup, no duplicate Up Next screens, and less flicker on the shuffle and repeat buttons.
• Cover art is sharper in the small and extra-small grid sizes.
• Restore Purchases now tells you whether anything was restored.
FIXED
• Pro features now unlock correctly on Apple silicon Macs.
• CarPlay could show a blank screen and return to the CarPlay home screen on iOS 27 with large Files libraries.
• CarPlay list icons were oversized on iOS 27.
• Songs removed in Apple Books or Music, or deleted from a synced folder, no longer linger in the play queue or on the now-playing bar.
• The chapter display no longer resets to chapter 1 while paused.
• Chapter lists written in the comments tag were ignored for files longer than an hour.
• Dragging the CarPlay or lock-screen scrubber all the way to the end now finishes the track instead of being ignored.
• Wrong album art could appear for files with unusual names, for files replaced in place, and after using "Use for Artist" or "Use for Genre" on items without a name.
• Renaming a tag now updates its child tags correctly.
• Smart playlists that appeared empty after updating to v22.0 now repair themselves.
• Albums without a genre or year no longer show stray separators and "N/A" in the header.
• Removing the only song in the queue while it was playing no longer restarts it.
• Cancelling a Google Drive download no longer hangs.
• Two crashes on the Featured screen, one at launch and one when tapping a See All list during a refresh.
• A crash when cancelling a drag in the play queue on iOS 26.

• Player - Sticky Shuffle: keep shuffle Off, Automatic, or Always on across sessions

• Library - More accurate bit-depth info for ALAC and FLAC files
• App - Major translation quality overhaul across all 33 supported languages
FIXED

• Library - Some M4A files failed to import

22.1 Aug 24
Version 22.0 introduces support for hi-res DSD audio.
NEW
• App - DSD playback is here. Play your DSD files (DSD64–DSD1024) with bit-perfect DoP output to compatible DACs (up to DSD256), or automatic high-quality PCM conversion at up to 384 kHz on any other output — with per-device output settings. (Premium feature.)
• App - A fresh new look. Meet "Waves Midnight," our new default app icon, plus a redesigned launch screen to match. Prefer the classic yellow icon? It's still available in Settings.
IMPROVED
• Player - Tap the output specs badge (e.g. "DSD64 • PCM") to jump straight to your connected DAC's output settings — and the app now offers a one-time pointer to DSD output options when it detects a USB DAC.
• Files - Smarter file sorting: tracks in the Files tab now queue in the right order, even when filenames use unpadded track numbers.
• Library - Codec info now clearly labels sample rate.
FIXED
• Player - Rare crashes during playback when device memory was low.
• Player - Input/output spec labels now stay centered when they wrap to multiple lines.
• Files - File sync on fresh installs could record an empty destination folder.
• Library - Section index navigation in the library for names starting with symbols or non-Latin characters.

NEW

IMPROVED
• Player - Synced lyrics now handle backing and simultaneous vocals correctly, and section markers like [Chorus] are no longer hidden.
• Player - Play After Current Album - albums you queue up now play in the order you added them, even when shuffle is on.
• Player - Volume Normalization: album gain is now used whenever an album plays through in order, so tracks within an album keep their intended loudness relative to each other.

FIXED

21.2 Jun 15
Version 21.1 focuses on stability, reliability, and quality-of-life improvements throughout the app, with major fixes for playback, external file shares, large libraries, and lyrics support.
NEW
• Custom lyrics for iTunes tracks - You can now add your own synced .lrc lyrics for any song, including iTunes Library tracks that couldn't previously have associated lyrics files. Simply drop lyrics into the new Lyrics folder or use the new "Import Lyrics File…" action.
• Hide the slider knob - A new "None" knob size option lets you hide the scrubber and volume thumbs for a cleaner player appearance while keeping the controls fully draggable. This is now the default setting.
IMPROVED
• Smoother song changes - Improved lyrics loading, reducing brief pauses when switching tracks.
• Clearer playback errors - When a FLAC or other audio file cannot be decoded, the player now explains why instead of silently failing to play.
• External file share reliability - Mounted folders are now actively monitored for stale connections. The app can automatically repair many issues, provides clear Remount prompts when needed, and highlights affected mounts in the Files tab before playback is impacted.
FIXED
• Fixed multiple playback crashes, including issues related to gapless preloading, audio route changes, audio configuration changes, fast seeking, and skipping to the previous track.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when locking or unlocking the device during background playback.

• Resume position is now saved continuously during playback, helping preserve your place after an unexpected crash or force-quit.
• Karaoke lyrics now correctly follow your selected alignment settings.
• Previous Track now more reliably decides whether to restart the current song or move to the previous track based on your playback position.
• Fixed an issue where the 10-band EQ could overflow the screen on some devices, clipping outer bands and labels.
• Fixed an issue where Plus and Max iPhones could incorrectly display the iPad player layout in landscape mode.
• Offline Last.fm scrobbles are now automatically retried when launching the app or returning from the background.

19.1.1 03/19/2025
Version 22.2.2 is a stability and Mac-compatibility update.
IMPROVED
• Tapping near the menu or drag handle on a play queue row no longer accidentally starts playback.
• On a Mac, songs that live in iCloud or are protected now show a message explaining why they can't play here instead of failing silently.
FIXED
• Repeat One went silent at the end of the song with gapless playback on. It now loops seamlessly, and seeking near the end of a track hands off to the next song without a gap.
• The progress slider stayed at 100% after the last song in the queue finished.
• On a Mac, songs from the Music app would not play. The app now asks for access to your Music folder once and remembers it.
• On a Mac, a folder mounted in Files had to be picked again after every relaunch.
• Playlist row numbers flickered while a song played, and the progress bar sometimes did not move to the new song after a skip.
• A crash when a WiFi Transfer upload arrived without a file.
