Neutron Music Player

This app plays everything I throw at it and it sounds great. My only wish currently would be for the chapters to be shown for any m4b file that is played.

This is probably a good app. The couple of tracks I could get to play sounded good. BUT .. The UI is a disgrace unless you’re a real techhead. There is NO user guide. I’ve playlists in Apple Music that I use in my ballet classes that Neutron has found, but it will not play the tracks. If there were some way to find out how to use the app – duh! like a User Guide – I might persist. However, it seems the company can’t be bothered. You charge money, so produce a user guide and stop insulting your customers.

Neutron MP is the only iOS player that can do what I need it to do without compromises or paying a ludicrous yearly payment plan. Replay gain? Check. Can read iTunes library and playlists? Check Can actually play in bit perfect mode when using my DAC? Check. Sure, the interface is kinda old skool, but the functionality is all there. As far as I'm concerned, Neutron MP is the only game in town.

I love good quality sound but never knew it could be pilled out of an iPhone like Neutron can do. Suddenly I found myself listening all day to old music I had not touched for years. The user interface can be daunting with so many options available. Bit with patience it became rather easy, please do not wreck it with future upgrades . As the saying goes: don’t fix it if not broken 😊

At last a decent music playing app….

Latest version is broken or just doesn’t work properly with iOS 15. Most settings for Media Library doesn’t work. Sorting by disc does nothing, leaving it an absolute mess to listen to albums in order. Search doesn’t work. And have songs missing.

Once configured to your taste, this is a power user / audiophiles delight. Neutron perfectly integrated with my large collection stored on a NAS with super fast playback and scrubbing and a vast array of options to boot. GUI is a bit of an overload out of the box but you can easily hide the extras you don't immediately use or need. 5/5 this is the level of sophistication everyone should strive for.

While every other media player is focusing on simplicity this media player goes the opposite way and gives you much more in depth customisation options than any other player. It is not the most user friendly by any means, but it certainly is a very high quality player. Normalisation using Replaygain (EBU R128) can scan the entire iTunes library on your phone, produces results which I believe are better than Apple’s Soundcheck. And you can even set the target LUFS level! The equaliser can also be set to between 4-30 band parametric EQ. And other DSP effects can be incorporated to tailor the sound you’re after. If you’re after the Swiss Army knife of music players, this is it. If you don’t wish to tackle the learning curve required to utilise this app, use Apple’s Music app instead.
