The APP is actually called Samsung Music if you were looking for on an android device.
Icon shows name as only Music.
Has to do a little searching for it

Oh, no doubt. But it has very limited features.

Has lots of features, but my gripe for use on the bike is no built in support for a 'car' interface with big easy to hit controls. I get around this by using a car home app that integrates with it, but I'm thinking I might try some other music players.
When I connect my phone via Bluetooth to my truck or my bike (aftermarket stereo - no Rushmore stuff), I'm able to advance my tracks, pause, etc on a Playlist.

On my Android devices I like to use BlackPlayer. It allows creating and importing of playlists.


I've tried lots of music apps for playing my personal collection and found this to be the best. I even sprung a few bucks to upgrade to the full version and that is something I rarely do. Find it in the Play Store.

That's odd, 'cause my phone is actually an 8+ also and it came with it.
