iOS DLNA Client?
I've got a Windows PC at home set up as a DLNA music streaming server ( see http://www.howtogeek.com/215400/how-...-media-server/ ).
...so I'm looking for a wife-friendly iOS DLNA client app that could play content streaming from that server via our WiFi Network at home. Doesn't have to work outside of the home.
Two key requirements are -
a) Ability to browse / play a folder of MP3s
b) A shuffle/random feature for playing that folder
I don't mind paying for a good app, but I need to know it will work for my needs before I pay for it.
Any suggestions? I've tried a few, but they all seem buggy and/or confusing to use.

I use Plex as my media server/app of choice. They have a free version (with some limitations). Thing I like about it is that it will catalog and download metadata for all my material (mostly movies).
One of the "paid" features that convinced me to buy the lifetime pass, is the ability to sync movies/shows/music offline to my iPad/iPhone (i.e. to watch/listen on a plane).
