4STREAM

Really good app that I use to airplay music via Apple Music app to an Arylic S50 pro. The Arylic is connected to an Onkyo TX NR6100 receiver; Zone 2 with wired outdoor speakers. This setup allows me to control music volume & selection directly from my iphone/ipad & app and gives more power to the speakers which greatly enhances sound. The EQ in 4Stream also helps with that as well. Without the Arylic S50 & this app; Onkyo Zone 2 sound is not that great. It would be a valuable improvement if the 4Stream app included a sound balance LR sliding bar instead of the current option of hearing sound either from only the R or L speaker or both R&L speakers.

i ha e a large .mp3 collection stored on my phone from Apple Itunes. After sing for a short time using 4Stream I have two big issues: 1)When playing music stored on iPhone for Apple Music App, 4Stream only choses the first 202 songs from a playlist regardless of the size of the playlist. So if your playlist is sorted by genre or other non-random method you end up with a much limited random playback, being limited to only 202 songs being shuffled. some of my playlists are over 5000 songs long. 2)Also, if you manually advance the player to select the next song it does not do so using the random function even if that is selected. The only time the random function seems to work is if a song is allowed to play on to the bitter end and the next song be automatically selected. Otherwise the songs have no randomization. Please address these issues.

It barely gets the job done but needs a lot of improvements. The network connections to the device seems to drop and have trouble reconnecting more than it should. Biggest complaint is that I have to use Bluetooth to play Apple Music because it doesn’t support Apple Music as a streaming option. Next most annoying thing is that the c EQ settings are not saved after changing input or reconnecting.
