Limited only by the capabilities of your UPnP/DLNA media server. • Full shuffling capabilities (for UPnP/DLNA servers that support searching) • Create local playlists • Access your album booklets from within the app when using Minimserver as your Media Server. • Playback to UPnP/DLNA renderers. If your renderer supports gapless, enable this via Settings > UPnP/DLNA (even if your renderer does not support gapless, enabling this setting may reduce gaps between tracks).

Straight forward interface, no bs, plays all my music hosted on a Linux dlna server and any dlna server on your local network, works great.

Hi-Fi Cast is my default music playing app. If I have any gripe is that one cannot purge the list of Internet radio stations of those which aren't valid/available anymore. I also would love to be able to have it available to install on my Onn 4K Pro Streaming Device. As it is right now I have to use VLC, which is ok but just not the same. Even the mobile app and the Onn 4K Pro Streaming Device versions are different for VLC.

When comparing audio players Hi-Fi Cast - Music Player stood for being simplistic + easy to use for a high quality player.

Works great with my Sonos beam first gen soundbar. Lets me cast music from my phone and have it sorted by folder.
★★★★★Sauli Koltiainen· Aug 13, 2025
I can just click on a track and the player connects to my Chromecast and starts playing. I like it!

Plays one song, then the next song is muted (playing but no sound). I've done everything the searches say to do... phone is on, screen is on, no other apps. PITA. This, at home with headphones, traveling in Airplane mode... For whatever reason, I do not have this problem in the truck via Android Auto.

Had the premium version I've never really used it because it didn't intuitively work well. I can't create speaker groups which is the only reason I got it was to try and bypass Google home not recognizing my onn 4k Google TV box as a speaker that could be added to a group

Every time a song ends, the next song plays silently until I press pause then play. Not really convenient to have to be so actively involved in listening to music in the background.
