I've been using foobar 2000 to play mostly FLAC files from a PC and a portable hard drive for a couple of years now, and I'm very pleased with it. I control it with the Android app from an old smartphone. But I've only just seen that you can control the VLC media player from an android phone, so the question is: is there any advantage in using VLC rather than foobar for lossless music listening? Be gentle, I'm an idiot!
