I'm new to this forum - so hello to everybody!

I'm using mpd now for quite a while and apart from very tiny problems i'm very happy with the proggie. --> Big compliments to the programmers!!
That's for the server-part, with the client-part it's a different thing:
Actually i use an old Ipod 2. generation and because of that a quite old version of MPod, which does not really satisfy me. Now i want to purchase a new device mainly to control my music-library.
So my question is: What would you recommend me to buy? As far as i oversee the situation, for IOS there is most software, the next is Android and at the very last place comes WinRT/Win8. When i prefere to avoid IOS in future, it would be the best to take an Android-advice, an Nexus10 for example, correct?
And what software would you say, is the best to use?
For example: i like the user-guidance of Foobar2000 for Windows a lot. Is there something comparable for mpd? My media-PC is running under Linux - so far i cannot use Foobar.
Thanks in advance for any opinion!!
PS: Sorry for my bad english - its not my language...
