Our verdict on HiByMusic

HiByMusic is a free mobile player for local lossless and lossy audio, available on Android and iOS. It suits listeners who keep music files on a phone, especially those with compatible HiBy players or an external USB DAC. Its format coverage includes DSD, ISO, WAV, FLAC, APE, AIFF, M4A, AAC, WMA, MP3, and Ogg Vorbis; iOS also supports CUE sheets and ISO images. Gapless playback is available, with a 10-band graphic equalizer and MSEB support documented for iOS.

The platform-specific audio tools are a key distinction. On Android, HiByMusic supports native DSD and DoP USB audio output, and its HiByLink client and server functions allow control of compatible devices. Android also includes Wi-Fi music transfer and local database updates for transferred songs. iOS has its own broad format support and equalizer, but the published feature descriptions place USB audio output on Android. Buyers choosing between platforms should check which of those features matter most to their listening setup.

For a library-centered mobile workflow, scanning, playlists and playlist sorting, Wi-Fi music import, and local database updates cover the basics. The app is focused on mobile playback rather than desktop library management, so listeners seeking a computer-based player should look elsewhere. Its strengths are most relevant to people with local audio files, HiBy hardware, or USB DACs; those who need a desktop app or do not need its device-specific audio features may prefer a more general-purpose player. Google Play lists the app as free and indicates ads and in-app purchases.
