I've been using VLC for many years and recently switched to IINA for my desktop 
mac.

Short answer: iPhone
In the closed iPhone environment you can't just dig up the old version
from a torrent site and install it instead of the new version. If it
ain't in the Apple App Store you can't have it.

That said, there are some good media players available. Try VLC Media
Player to start with.

Because the old software isn’t available anymore… unless someone knows how
to extract it from the iPhone file of a Time Machine backup of my computer.

So, why can't you uninstall the new software & re-install the old software?

One of my non-photographic passions is listening to classical music.

I have a pair of Sennheiser PXC 550 II headphones that I like a lot, usually 
playing recordings stored on my iPhone.

I learned that Sennheiser had "upgraded" its software from the 
venerable-but-versatile Captune to Smart Control. I installed Smart Control on my phone.

Big mistake. With all but the latest headphones, Smart Control is stupid 
compared to Captune, able to do nothing but select a recording, start, stop, 
and change the volume. Most annoying is the absence of a graphic equalizer, 
which I used a lot with Smart Control.

I emailed Sennheiser customer support, and their response was basically “Suck 
it up, sucker!”

Sooo…

Can anyone recommend an iPhone music player app with a graphic equalizer, 
compatible with my headphones?
