Enhanced Music Controller Lite

Enhanced Music Controller Lite is a versatile app designed to remotely control compatible Network Players and A/V Receivers via a local network. Users with Onkyo, Pioneer, Integra, Denon, Marantz, and select TEAC models equipped with HEOS technology can utilize the features of this software.

A standout feature is its facilitation of easy music playback management. Users can effortlessly handle sound profile settings, ensuring a personalized listening experience. Its modern Material design adapts to both smartphones and tablets, allowing for seamless use in varying orientations.

Key features that can be leveraged through the software include:

- Privacy-conscious operations with no ads or trackers, and no need for invasive permissions such as GPS.

- Quick one-click commands for instant music playback actions and media item access.

- Full command over playback controls, such as play, stop, pause, and track navigation, along with repeat and shuffle modes.

- Comprehensive tone controls, including adjustments for bass, treble, and subwoofer levels.

- Streamlined management of enhanced Play Queues.

- Compatibility with popular streaming services like TuneIn, Deezer, Spotify, and Tidal (subject to receiver support).

- DAB, FM, and AM radio access (receiver-dependent).

- Support for multiple zones and rooms, including FlareConnect for group device management (limited to Onkyo, Pioneer, Integra).

- Connectivity over an OpenVPN, making remote access possible even via cellular networks.

- Integration with the "Tasker" app for automated tasks based on user-defined rules.

Despite its array of features, there are some limitations, such as incompatibility with certain older models and the absence of the ability to stream music directly from a phone to the receiver. Moreover, some models do not support the Play Queue feature, which is restricted by the receivers' firmware limitations.

For those interested, Enhanced Music Controller Lite is an open-source project, aligning with a community-driven approach that welcomes user contributions and development insights.
