The free Audiophile Music Player app for the iPad is an attractive and great sounding way to improve iPad audio if you are connected to external speakers or headphones. Speakers can be the plug-in type, or connected via Bluetooth or AirPlay.

The app sees your iTunes content, and allows you to play tracks, albums, or create playlists. You can also use iTunes
