MPDluxe vs Rigelian

MPDluxe is a remote controller for MPD, an open-source networked music playing system which can run on a variety of UNIX- and Linux-based systems. MPDluxe allows you to browse the music collection and saved playlists on the MPD server, play, pause and skip tracks, add tracks to and edit the current playlist, search the MPD database and control the playback mode. MPDluxe can handle music collections of any size, and is ready to work as soon as it connects to the MPD server.

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.
