User reviews

Handle Large Playlists

A playlist that has thousands of tracks in Gerbera server. Rigelian can display the playlist, but Play or Shuffle buttons do not start playing. Possibly let user configure the page size, like 50 tracks per page, and send tracks in current page only to player.

Simple, effective music player app

Rigelian does one thing and generally does it very well indeed. It’s the best app for playing files on the SD card slots of a Chord 2go or Poly.

The interface is nice and clean. That and I t’s ability to pull in artist information and make links is a nice touch which puts ahead of MConnect.

It only loses a star because other apps include streaming integration from Tidal, but I keep Rigelian for playing local files as it’s the best app for that.

Sick of subscriptions

Requires monthly subscription to play music in your house. This is not a SaaS product but uses SaaS pricing.

Complaint – Misleading Qobuz Integration and Non-functional App

I am writing to formally complain about misleading information regarding Rigelian’s Qobuz integration.

According to your description, signing up provides access to the entire Qobuz library. Based on this, I purchased a subscription. However, after installing and using Rigelian with my Chord Poly/Mojo setup:
1. Qobuz is not visible anywhere in the app. There is no menu, settings, or way to log in.
2. Many buttons and menu items are inactive and unresponsive.
3. Rigelian does not stream Qobuz to my Poly in MPD mode.
4. Attempts to contact support have failed; there is no response or accessible support channel.

This is extremely disappointing, as the advertised functionality is not delivered, and the subscription is effectively unusable for my setup.

I formally request:
• Either clear instructions on how to access and play Qobuz on Poly/Mojo via Rigelian,
• Or a full refund, as the advertised service is not provided.

Please respond promptly. Failure to address this issue appropriately may lead me to escalate the complaint to consumer protection authorities.

現状最高のMPDクライアント

UIが最高。
ライフタイムプランがないのは残念だが、無料版でもプレイヤーとして必要な機能は使える。
あとは歌詞表示ができれば最高だが、現状MPDサーバー側がUNSYNCEDLYRICSタグの読み込みに対応していないため仕方ない。
