Am running my new Samsung Galaxy S8 with Samsungs DeX docking station... WONDERFUL combination.
As I was setting everything up I decided that JRiver MC was next to get the DeX treatment.
Found Neutron player for Android... very nice, very powerful & it connects to JRiver MC. Although it has a LOT of neat features it can be rather slow & cranky at times & it does not recognize special JRiver Playlist such as Car Radio which I use a lot.
Next up was JRiver Gizmo. Not to my surprise it does recognize the special JRiver Playlist such as Car Radio. BUT it to is often rather slow & cranky so I was using both Neutron (for its great feature set) AND Gizmo for accessing JRiver special Playlists.
Then a breath of fresh air came about as I accidentally ran across the most wonderful Android music app to date... EOS!!!
Boy oh boy this one does it all... clean, VERY fast loading of my music & fairly powerful (although Neutron still out does it in the power department).
Another thing I like about Eos is how easy it is to get around the interface (unlike Neutrons maze of menus).
Eos is a WONDERFUL app ;D
My hat off to the developer... GREAT job, keep up the good work. ::)
Cheers...

I used to find it unreliable and it would crash on me so I've used Gizmo for a while. But recently I re-installed it and it's stable now. Yes it's a very good UI design no doubt; nice to use.

My experience over the last few days are that both Neutron & Gizmo would not connect or lose connection & not be able to re-connect several times a day. Often the only way I could get them back was with a re-boot of either my Windows 10 desktop or the phone, or both.
Eos on the other hand, has yet to disconnect of failed to re-connect... not ever ;D
It is ROCK solid.
My only complaint so far is that I can't get Eos to play any of my videos... I do get sound, just not video. Any ideas on that? :P

This seems to be device specific. It plays video fine on my fire tablet.

Ah... good to know. I'll look into the video problem some more... maybe it's my settings :P
Thanks for the info, Bob.
