    The OSX/macOS world was set back by the deevolution as the iPod and iTunes basically want away. What once worked seamlessly is now an awkward kludge.

    In both work and home environments I do have other OS in active use - Windows for work and for my radios at home, Linux for home projects, and a couple others for experimenting with.

    Hi Steve,

    We typically keep macOS machines around so we have a non-Windows machine on our network.

    Typical, last week at $workplace we decided to haul around a standalone MacBook


















































































































    Pro because the managed Windows devices were so locked down I couldn't even configure a local IP address. Still got to sort that out since it's not workable AT all...

    Cheers

    Actually that's true. It's hard to find perfect Mp3 (or similar format) audio player on MacOS/IOS. Problem they've solved decades ago is back unless you like streaming plans, which I don't.

    VOX works well on desktop but sucks in the free version on mobile and I just have not grown up to decide to buy mp3 player software yet..

    but if any of you'd convince me to find a perfect solution for iPhone that works with your own files library well and allows to quickly play with while in a car (Apple Car integration).. then I'd love to hear it!

    Airdrop and the fact you can copy on an ios device and past that text in your mac.

    Hi h1,

    but if any of you'd convince me to find a perfect solution for iPhone that works with your own files library well and allows to quickly play with whil
    a car (Apple Car integration).. then I'd love to hear it!

    Bit late, but I recently wanted to play an mp3 file in my car on my iPhone. I installed VLC and used that, but it was an experiment with only 2 files (1 hour techno mixes) and it worked well. No idea how it behaves with a large library - YMMV.
    I also don'thave Carplay in this car, so I'm not sure whether VLC supports it.

    HTH

    One file is never a problem. I like to have full albums and many of them organized and quickly accessible while driving.

    And I'm still OK with VOX :) VLC failed me but I haven't checked any updates on IOS for a while so maybe I should.

    Yeah, I figured :) can't tell how well it handles that.
    I must admit that I caved for the streaming services nowadays. With three teenagers and not wanting them download all kinds of crap I'm on Spotify (5 users for the price of 2 made it interesting).

    Lately I'm thinking about ripping al my own CDs again and build a collection of what I own. Then decent players come in play (pun not intended).

    That's what I have done again, and I ditched any idea for music streaming subscription at the end. I don't buy mainstream music anymore, more bandcamp and vinyls.. I admit I do tho download music (flac ideally) and enrich my library of music I want and I own locally and then just copy/spread across my devices or stream locally via EMBY.
