funny thing is that apple used to have good offline music support that it has since butchered.

#32Supports your favourite speakers and headphones Doppler works with AirPods, HomePod and any Bluetooth or AirPlay enabled speaker But it doesn't require any setup - it comes out of the box. Or put it in another way - I don't see any music app that does not support that.

#33Earlier quoted context omitted.
At the moment it imports from the Music.app (so whatever you've synced with iTunes). Adding more providers in the next few months
I didn't realise you could have standalone music files in the Music any more! I thought it was all streaming Apple Music now. I wouldn't even know where to get standalone music files from.
Just drag the music files from your library to your plugged-in iDevice in iFumes on the Mac. You can also buy and download them on-device with the iTunes Store app.

#34I think the offline claim should be explained a bit better. Like does that mean I can get my old MP3 files to the app without stupid iTunes sync? Does it support "File sharing" so the app is shown in iTunes and I can drag and drop my MP3 files to its storage?

#35Does it also display lyrics for songs that have them?

0 calories water baby!
Still, as a non-iPhone user I actually expect Apple hardware to only work properly with Apple software, I was never able to use airplay on any other software than iTunes (in Windows), it always broke after some time when I did find something that worked on Linux. So perhaps it's not so bad to mention it.
