React Native Track Player vs. Expo Audio

SMRTR summary

Choosing between React Native Track Player (RNTP) and Expo Audio depends on how central audio is to your app. Expo Audio has matured significantly, now supporting background playback, lock-screen controls, playlists, and gapless playback. RNTP still leads for dedicated audio apps needing deep OS integration, but its v5 commercial license adds cost. For most new projects, Expo Audio is now the simpler default.
