Why not copy them to a USB memory stick and pop the memory stick into the rear of your Node. Alternatively a better solution would be to put the tracks on a NAS (network attached storage). Both ways will allow you to use the BluOS controller to play back the tracks.

BluOS had a feature to play local files from a phone but they removed it under the cover of "security", like it's not secure to stream from phone to a receiver but it's just a bunch of lazy excuse!!!

As you pictured an iPhone I do I know that it was Apple removed the ability a few OSes back, this change also effected other streaming hardware platforms.

Hi Deniel
This feature was removed in 2016 at the request of Apple as it violated the security requirements of iOS as it allowed your iPhone or iPad to be remotely controlled or hacked through this service. Android quickly followed suit.
Since then AirPlay has been added.
Back to the OP's request, a proper SMB connection via NAS Sharing is best but as Seppi stated, Bluetooth and a USB stick in the back are also options. No, you cannot connect the phone directly to the USB port and have it read the phone that way. Both are not available in Android or iOS.

No, Musicast is name of Yamaha's app ( like BluOS controller for BlueSound devices ) that stream files (BitPerfect) from phone to to Yamaha's AVR's.

I said Chromecast, which is what a lot of Yamaha AVR’s have.

But this does not use Chromecast as Chromecast is not BitPerfect and also older AVR ( like my old RX-V683 ) with Musicast do not have Chromecast and yet you can stream BitPerfect audio from phone.
