I've never used a smartphone as a controller always used a tablet. Can't please everyone, make a request to WiiM or find something else.

I did, several times. People just want new features all the time instead of basic features working properly. I really like what WiiM makes, but they really should improve this.

Typically people use a smartphone. I'm not at my computer desk when I listen to music. And other apps use multiple lines, just the WiiM app doesn't / can't. No use looking for excuses.

I connected a 2 TB external ssd hard drive filled with FLAC files to my Fritzbox internet router. It has it's own media server which supports UPnP. It appears in my WiiM Pro Plus and Matrix Mini-i 4 streamers. I'm using this setup as my main music source for more than a year now and I'm very content with it.
