BTR AMP: Advanced Music Player 4+

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.

Thank you for the wonderful review!

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.

Thank you for the review!

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.
