The more we move over to a mobile controlled ecosystem the less we will be able to do with our data and media playback. The whole mobile app ecosystem is like wearing a straightjacket that always limits what you can do. It is not possible to do the same type of search on the mobile app. For example, if I want to browse all of the high-res files I have that are 192,000 Hz I can do that easily on the laptop running JRiver Media Center. The laptop allows me to do advanced searches that the mobile device interfaces just do not allow. However, when I want to do real big boy management and searches of my library I have to use the laptop running Windows. The mobile style interfaces work OK when all I want to do is basic browsing of my library and basic control of what is playing now. ![]() ![]() Mobile device interfaces are always restricting compared to what you can accomplish and do on a real computer like a full laptop or desktop. The big problem I have with mobile devices is that the interfaces are like being at best handcuffed, at worst straightjacketed in a Houdini escape act. ![]() On the 12" screen this kinda works, on the 7" screen I can convince myself that the interface almost works, on a 5" phone screen it doesn't work well. A 12" screen does even better allowing me to see more albums on the screen at a time. Browsing a library of 5,000+ albums on a phone size screen is not my idea of good interface design. I don't like using the phone to control audio because the screen is too small to show enough to be useful. It's pretty neat that modern Chrombooks can run Android apps and function as a big tablet, even if they end up being so big thick and heavy to use comfortably as a tablet. I should add, that when I do use a mobile device to control the music I use either an old 7" android tablet or a Chromebook 12" 2-in-1 style laptop that can run Android apps and fold over to be a big fat heavy thick touchscreen tablet. ![]()
