My 2¢

I bounce to mono for live performance from my iPad. I do not believe in stereo PA except in small rooms, and then, only for background music between sets. People to the far L or R don’t get to hear the mix.

The Apple Music players are cumbersome for live playback. TwistedWave for iOS lets me set up a play list and change it at will. Track loading and playback are instantaneous.

Having lost an iPad motherboard from a bumped plug in the headphone jack, I’ll never, ever, ever plug anything into it again. There are simple, heavy duty Lightning to Headphone adapters from Philips and UGREEN that are far more rugged than the Apple products. My headphone jack has a piece of clear, waterproof tape covering it nowadays.
