That must-connect-to-server-before-I-show-you-your-LOCAL!-files has really pushed me over the edge. Infuriating! I've been trying out some replacment music apps, but haven't really found any great alternatives at this point. I guess the whole thing will sort itself out when I switch to android in the next few months.
Someone around here put it best a few wks ago in an iPhone7 discussion: Steve Jobs is dead.

This cloud integration stuff is so damn pushy. I wish there was something out there with only the features of winamp, but enough UI polish that it doesn't look like some college kid's hobby project.
- RhodaLs 10y agoI don't use Android currently, but when I did, PowerAmp was a great music player. Simple interface. Would automatically find sound files wherever you put them. Played most formats including flac. Worked very well with my BT headphones. Never had a problem with it.

- apenwarr 10y agoCesium is a really great iOS music player app. It's basically the iOS 6 UI with the bug fixes you always wanted, and none of the gunk from iOS 7 and above.
