I just bought a Poly and have been loving it. As a Roon endpoint, it's a dream come true, but playing from local storage has given me some problems I didn't foresee. I just can't find a good app that doesn't have some kind of dealbreaker. I am using a Galaxy Note 8. Here is what I have tried and my issues thus far:
mConnect:
- For albums with multiple discs, the tracks are all out of order. Even when I change the sorting method, nothing shows up correctly.
- The interface is pretty atrocious. Looks decent, but usability is frustrating.
- I've upgraded to premium and no settings are remembered. I have to manually select the Poly every time. I have to change the sort order every time.
BubbleUPnP:
- Sort of the same issue as mconnect. Albums with multiple discs have tracklists that are out of order 50% of the time. When I bring up the metadata for a given track, the track number and disc number are clearly listed, but sometimes 23 will come before 5, and 2 will be buried near track 30. I have dug around the metadata for hours and have no idea why this is happening. Some albums are totally fine and there is no difference between the metadata for either.
- Low res artwork for everything.
Hi-Fi Cast:
- Album Sorting and tracks are all in proper order.
- All album artwork is being downsampled to around 160x160.
- No Tidal Support.
Is there any app out there that would fit my needs more appropriately - those being:
- Multi-disc album tracks in the proper order.
- Full-res album art
- Proper Interface that remembers settings.
- Ideally has Tidal functionality.
