This is my experience of various music players on iPad, preferably DLNA players which can select music from my PC running Serviio Server program and play them through TV.
MLPlayer lite
Can select music from Serviio running on PC
Will play chosen music file (mp3) on iPad, but not on TV.
No chance to create playlists.
As soon as move away from the file playing, the music stops.
Remote
Links to iTunes account on PC to provide access to all music in the iTunes library.
Selected music plays on the PC. This is a remote control for the PC, so best to have the PC plugged in to a hifi.
Using iTunes Home Share allows a laptop to share the music from the PC. This program can then remote control iTunes on the laptop, including playing music from the PC.
Can create playlists
Fusion Stream
Can navigate through music on Serviio Server on PC, but complains about playing any.
Can add files to play list and edit order etc.
But cannot play!
MediaConnect
Can navigate Serviio Server on PC and select a file to play. It plays on iPad.
Seems to support a “queue” of music to play through a DLNA renderer, but couldn’t get this to do more than one song.
Controller – select DLNA renderer
Lite version only allows access to first 5 files on each album, and only plays first x mins of each track.
