iOS Client to play music from the source MinimServer

I do believe I have to start over thinking about how to stream music (and audiobooks) in the future.

I might have to invest into hardware and I might use my NAS only as source for my music (not as renderer / server).

This question might sound simple - but I might have overlooked it all the time:
a) Is there an option to uses minimserver and to give back user-feedback on a track: adding a tack (like Partymusik) or a star-track-rating (like 4 star)?
In Roon you may use tags to personalize your music library. Plex uses stars. Emby offers ("hearts"). JRiver uses stars. DS Audio (Synology) uses stars. ... But I might have overlooked that minimserver is not designed to give information back from the User to the server (into the audio file or into a server-regulated music library)?

b) Is there an unpd/dlna / openhome solutions that handles user feedback on tracks?

c) Do you have a suggestion for a set-up? I would very much appreciate if you could explain which of my goals I could / couldn't answer with your suggestion.

My goals
I will distinguish between Rock/Pop // classic // audiobooks.
a) Player / Controller with the function to give gack User-feedback on tracks (star-rating and / or tag):
must have // nice to have // nice to have

b) Function to change the metadata stored within the audio-files
nice to have // nice to have // nice

c) Ability to distinguish between different users (with different User-feedback on tracks)
nice // nice // nice

d) Function to get "deep information" on artists / performers, like next concerts, bios
nice to have // nice to have // nice

e) Function to being available outside LAN / remote access
must have // must have // must have

f) Function to handle multiple artists & performers
nice // nice to have // nice to have

g) supporting Airplay
nice to have // nice to have // nice to have

e) Availability of an iOS app to play and / or control
must have // must have // must have

Thanks for your help!
