Great! VLC is one of the few desktop codes I use for decades now and it replaced Foobar2000 and Winamp, which were my previous favourites. So glad they also have a great mobile user interface (which is great on both Android and iOS). They can take the liberty to do that because VLC has a clean architecture with frontend-backend seperation. There are VLC frontends for the terminal (ncurses, asciiart), there used to be the wxWidgets one which is now Qt, there is a web server frontend, and all this is built into regular VLC binaries (as downloadable from the website or from your package manager) so it works out of the box.
