I tried mconnetlite - which is - to be polite - ugly. Another user offert some feedback on mconnet (see: https://community.jthink.net/t/music-cli...g/9141/2). "is very slow, you can make and drink a cup of coffee before using the library. Besides the app always looses the connection to the library and crashes on routing songs to a renderer ." This ist actually not a product I want to buy. If you personally have experiences with the iOS app? Please let me know.

Browsing by folder?!? I'm setting up all this to be able to see artwork by browsing my music by folder? Sorry, I know it's not your product and you simply try to help. But this is not helping.

The way music is presented by MinimServer is so Windows 1990's. Non of the clients showed any background information about any artist (performer / composer ...). Most of them followed a very strict hierarchical approach - which is actually not really helping to enjoy the complexity of the interaction between performers, choirs, orchestras, conductors, band members and so on.

As you may guess: I'm not convinced to buy the product.

Please let me know your setup.
Please let me know it it would help to use BubbleUPnP.

And please any announcements on the roadmap for the upcoming features of MinimServer are more than welcome.

Maybe it’s ugly but with your constraint (no upnp/openhome renderer) I think you don’t have any other choices.
If you are on iOS devices, as you stated before, Bubbleupnp is Android only ... and not so different.
In my opinion there are two much better apps, Lumin and Linn, but they are excluded by your same constraint
