@jaybe VLC is a great idea. I have used it for video but never thought of it for audio playback.
FYI, UX is user experience.
I totally agree with you about the weakness of bluetooth, but this isn't for me, it's for a friend who will only play via a bluetooth speaker, not a hifi system. Thank you.
Thanks guys for the other suggestions, but "clunky" is the opposite of what I'm looking for here. Jriver is too costly, I saw there's a newer free "Jukebox" version...it has no images which seems basic and expected these days in any music app.
LMS via Squeezebox was my go-to around 1995. From mentions here, I get the impression that it hasn't changed much this century, lol. Maybe that's plan B if VLC doesn't work out. Cheers,
Spencer
