Surely if it supports AA screen mirroring then just mirror your
favourite mp3 player app onto the main screen?
Poweramp was always a favourite when I was on android.
With the rise of AA and CarPlay, the sooner manufacturers stop shipping
out of date, poor quality infotainment systems, the better. Just give
me a big screen I can mirror to.
That sort of works. I tried three current Apps before I found one that
worked. The first could play the music, but claimed it couldn't find
any media on the phone when I tried to set up a Playlist. The second;
VLC, allowed a Playlist, but couldn't find the files. The third;
Pulsar, worked for both *and* displayed the track data on the Mini
screen. However, getting it to work after a cold start was and is a bit
convoluted, but that's mainly down to the fundamentally convoluted
nature of the software that drives the Interactive Unit.
