Rigelian vs LyrPlay

Rigelian turns your iPhone and iPad into a refined, powerful controller for music players based on OpenHome (BubbleUPnP & upmpcli) and MPD (MPD, moOde, Volumio, Bryston, Chord Poly). Built specifically for iOS, it combines speed, clarity, and precision in a clean, modern interface designed for serious music lovers. Browse your collection effortlessly by artist, album, genre, folder, composer, or performer (MPD), and find anything instantly with fast, responsive search across your entire library. Create and manage playlists, control your play queue exactly the way you want, jump directly from the queue to related albums or artists, and quickly access recently added music or rediscover your collection with random playback. Rigelian integrates seamlessly with Qobuz on BubbleUPnP and upmpdcli players, gives you access to thousands of radio stations via radio-browser.info for MPD and displays track quality during playback and browsing. It automatically discovers compatible players on your network — including Bryston, Volumio, Rune, moOde, and standard MPD — and makes switching between them effortless. Enjoy high-quality album artwork, artist biographies and related artists. Subscription information The free version of Rigelian for iOS lets you add items to your playlist up-to 10 times per month. For unlimited access monthly and annual options are available, both including a 2-week free trial. A single subscription will work on all your devices, for all your family members. Cancel anytime during the trial period and you will not be charged. Payment is charged to your App Store account after the trial ends. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings.
