Any opensource music players for iOS you recommend? I found Flacbox which seems alright (a little buggy but you can't win them all, can you?)
VLC - https://www.videolan.org/
I just use the Music app. With the privacy protections turned up and Apple Music disabled. All it does is ply my aac files without sending data back to Apple.
I'm not sure that's totally true. The iOS ecosystem is very intertwined. It's possible that the Music app isn't sending data to Apple, but it is likely sharing it with whatever Apple calls the launcher, which likely shares it with Apple (or shares it with Siri or another app, which shares it with Apple).
Its not opensource as far as i know, but i use documents5 (or 6 now?) by readdle and its been p good for music
