Having recently developed a method a to 'maintain a compressed copy of
my music library'
(https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?110496-How-can-I-maintain-a-compressed-copy-of-my-music-folder),
I now realise that there's enough space on my iPhone to carry a good
chunk, if not all, of this library around with me.  So I'm looking for
recommendations for a suitable player.  I have some specific
requirements, which I suspect are common to others in this forum.
1) It must be able to handle OGG files.
2) It must understand whole album+cue combinations
3) It must allow me to transfer a full folder structure over to the
phone
4) Ideally it will also use my 'folder.jpg' album art files in each
sub-folder

I've looked at a few of the free offerings, and I've spotted some common
features:
- Many offer a web server approach to uploading files to the phone, but
the simple interface only allows files to be transferred to a single
folder.  I've not found a way to move an entire folder structure.
- Some seem to recognise my cue files, but don't handle them well - e.g.
they list the individual tracks defined by the cue file, but in
alphabetical order rather than the defined order, or they attempt to get
the tags from the whole-album OGG file.

I'm sure there'll be a good paid-for app that handles these issues
better, and I'm quite happy to pay for a good app, but I don't want to
pay for ALL of them in my searches, hence the plea for recommendations. 


Having been a fan of Foobar under Windows, for its OGG/FLAC/CUE
handling, I was pleased to see that it exists for the iPhone.  But
unless I'm mistaken it doesn't seem to handle cue files (yet).

So can anyone point me towards a suitable app?
