There are several 3rd party options for playing audio files on iPhone without iTunes. The two I use most often are Plex and CloudBeats. Recently, I have been giving Bound a try for audiobooks instead of CloudBeats. I really want Plex to support some basic Audiobook features so I can use just the one app. The audio I listen to is stored either on my home server (Plex) or a cloud service of my choice (CloudBeats and Bound). I don't touch iTunes. Disclaimer: I rarely listen to music. I'd wager 85-90% of my aduio listening is podcasts and I do that with Overcast. This may lead me to have the false belief that not using iTunes for music is easy/not a hassle on the iPhone.
