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.

I believe symfonium might need your needs. It's a paid app, but only one time payment. It can utilize several methods to stream.

I'll put this not on a backlog for now since it's paid but thx!

Are you against paying people for their work?
