It's called the very similar to Addict Player (in fact it looks identical) and is typical media player app, scans device/sd card for audio files and plays them fine. Note doesn't initially appear to install correctly on older iPads/iPad Pro (first gen 9.7" 2016/2017), reboot device, and it does work. No problems on Android (10/11 on OnePlus 7pro, Sony Expedia) or current generation iPad Pro. Believe it's a mobile app only so no Windows/macOS versions.
★★★★★
Is this the best music playing app ever? Having tried all the other (advert free) music players since apps became a thing. Yep, I'm THAT old. Gasp! I value great sound above all else, so if you want flashing lights and junk features, look elsewhere. Well done to all involved. Love it. UPDATE: This has always worked well, but doesn't work with Samsung S22 Ultra. The Addict Player, also from Shan ling does, and it's virtually identical.
★★★★★
Actually a great music player. Simple and fast ui, supports all the audio formats and can even fetch album art and lyrics. It really did surprise me.
★★★★★
One of the best high-res music apps. Easy to use unlike neutron. Better sound than Power amp.
★★☆☆☆
Doesn't work on my phone even when I'm using its own usb dongle (Shan ling UA1). Unable to play a song on this app
★★☆☆☆
While it sounds great, the software needs a lot of work 1) skipping a next track produces an audible click in my IEMs on the M6 2) skipping to next track cuts the intro of the song by a few ms. Songs that supposed to start immediately sounds like it missed a beat, it's inexcusable. 3) fast-forward is TOO FAST when using the M6 physical buttons 4) not able to store more than 1 custom EQ preset 5) playlist feature is bad. The sorting order is hard coded, and you can't customize it.
★★☆☆☆
There's a lot that can be learned from Hi By Music. I have a Shan ling M6 and the UI can get laggy at times. Shan ling lacks the control that Hi By provides with MSEB.
★★☆☆☆
It doesn't play music on its own DAC. Music stops and plays! With power amp I am facing no issues.
