Is there a music app to which I can stream from my NAS that supports CarPlay? (lemmy.world)

Hi,

I've built my own NAS recently and I'm trying to get the max use out of it. I seem to be unable to find any iOS music app that integrates with CarPlay except VLC.

VLC works "okay" for streaming files that are on my phones local storage but it's quite glitchy and sometimes tends to crash or becomes unresponsive. However the network shares are not accessible to navigate trough on the CarPlay dashboard and either I'm missing something but I can't add any network shared folders to the Albums which are accessible on the dashboard.

BONUS: If the app allows transcoding so I don't have to stream FLAC over mobile data, that would be a big time saver.

Plexamp will do what you’re looking for. You’ll need to run the server component either on your as NAS or a VM with access to the music files

Haven't got to try it yet as Manet seems to work and I don't have to run extra server component so I'll use that one for now but this is a nice backup if needed, thanks!
