What are folks recommending (for MPD control, e.g. Rigelian on iOS) for Android users?

Thanks,
Doody

Rigelian also worked great for me - MPD is the way to go. If only they had streaming services integrated then 2Go would have worked for me. Interesting that MPD has always worked well for me, but upnp was not robust.

I use MConnect for its Tidal+Qobuz integrtions and Rigelian for SD card playback. However, I use Roon 90% of the time.

Works great.

I am awaiting my 2go and plan to use it with roon...how exactly is that set up?...is there a way to set the 2go up to be on the same network as the roon ?...how does one control such settings on the 2go?

It’s all done automatically - set up the 2go on your lan/Wifi and your Roon core will find it as an endpoint

M.A.L.P. is usable for MPD control via WIFI or 2go hotspot mode or the hotspot of my smartphone.
You have to introduce the IP adress in the profile and the Port. 6600 is the default value.
It easy to create playlists.
I use BubbleUpnp with Qobuz or with the SDcard of in my S8.
It will be the solution when 4Tb would not be enough.

MPdroid is also a Music Player Deamon. It seems possible to save the playlist in the smartphone.

thank you...sorry to be thick...when you say it will do it automatically how does the 2go find my home network?....is there somewhere it would access my network so I could set it up and add password etc?.....

yes. Go Figure app.

you choose Roon mode and then activate the endpoint in Roon Audio settings.

hi all,

My impressions so far.

I've tried the Ethernet with Roon & with Airplay just for fun. Very Good (Roon is fantastic via Ethernet, and Tidal via Roon)

Roon in wifi is addictive ! very quiet (no noise, maybe just a warmth) and sounds rich (I upsample, but keep it PCM, unless I play a native dsd track from my collection, it's sounds more realistic to me)

SD card playing is probably the quietest (Rigelian) and I close the app on my phone as soon as the playlist or album is chosen. It's soooo precise (sometimes a bit surgical depending on the recording) so I enjoy Roon via wifi or Lan a bit more for pleasure listening, but sd card is the cleanest for analytical listening (not much of an audiophile, but I'm a professional orchestra conductor without a job during those strange days...)

I yet have to figure out how to created a playlist in Rigelian that would appear in GoFigure... I follow instructions diligently, but it doesn't work for me. if I succeed, it might be able to only use Gofigure once to start a listening session and be able to enjoy listening away from my phone !!!!

I’m curious why you don’t also use mConnect for SD card playback? Is this a DLNA vs MPD thing? Thanks!

Does Rigelian save its playlists into the sd card or into the mobile app memory?
I use a windows app called cantana to create the playlists, these do get stored on the sd card, but only after you put the sd card into your computer as the sd card is read only once it’s inside poly.
I remember with poly there was a problem that some apps created the playlist from the networks perspective rather than from the sd cards perspective, so even a stored playlist on the sd card didn’t work correctly.

I invested in Rigelian and love the interface on my iPad Pro. Simple as that

Me too, but the good news is that you can do it.

I set up a playlist in Rigelian and, like you, I can’t see it in Gofigure. Remembering that I was previously able to set up playlists on the SD card in Poly using Glider, I opened Glider and discovered that I was able to open and play the play list that I had just created in Rigelian. That must mean that the playlist is stored on the card, but just not visible in Gofigure. I rescanned the card, but still the same outcome. Then I powered off Hugo2Go and powered it back on and the playlist is now visible in Gofigure - and you can play it from Gofigure without opening Rigelian.

In order to see playlist in my case is also required to power off hugo2go. If you only update the sd cart content via gofigure may not be enough to see new playlists but rebooting hugo2go (shoting it down for 30 seconds until all lights go down) works in my case.
