User reviews

Manual servers

Since I cannot revise my last review, the issue with manual addition has been fixed and the app is functional again. Thankfully no need to readd the information.

Removed functionality

You “rebuilt the app from the ground up” and forgot to put in manual connections? Great idea.

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.
