Can’t import CUE playlist file I’ve imported FLAC(or APE) with its corresponding CUE file by using iTunes File sharing, but the CUE does not appear in the application’s play interface. Firstly, if CUE file’s content includes non-ASCII characters (such as Eastern Asia charsets: Chinese, Japanese), you must ensure that the CUE file is saved in UTF-8 format. Try to use Notepad in Windows to open the CUE file and then save as UTF-8 format. Secondly, the audio file name specified by the FILE field in CUE must exactly the same as FLAC or APE file, both CUE and FLAC(or APE) must be in the same directory. 2. Does the MuscFans support single(unpaired) FLAC or APE playing? YES, just import the single FLAC or APE audio file into the application by iTunes file sharing.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MusicFans at 5.0 against 倾音's 4.2. MusicFans also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2). 倾音's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 倾音 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. MusicFans asks for nothing beyond the download.
MusicFans holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of MusicFans's written reviews are positive against 86% of 倾音's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MusicFans ships an update every 11 days, 倾音 every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
