Lumin Ap on Lumin players - not so good?


Anyone use Luman ap??

got a new luman device and find the Lumin ap as being difficult to work with.  Playlists seems to require lots of management vs Roon, Qobuz.  Also hard to figure ap out.  Seems very awkward to use.

design of ap doesnt seem to be very good.  Guidance is limited.  Very disappointed.

I too am a Roon lifer using qobuz. 
But when i use Lumin app and initially saw my qobuz playlists on right side in all their glory i was happy.

and then i played first song from qobuz playlist within the lumin ap, sounded real good, and when it was over it skipped over into a lumin song list on the left side.  I couldnt get ap to continue to play from a selected qobuz playlist displayed in lumin ap that showed all the songs listed out.  I tried and tried but i am dumb.  It was so cruel to have it work this way.  
I much prefer BubbleUPnP.  It's pretty basic, but a lot easier to use and much more intuitive.  The only thing I use the Lumin app for is Radio Paradise.  I haven't been able to figure out how to get to it from BubbleUPnP.  App is free, a license is less than 5 bucks if you want to get rid of ads.
jumia,

If I understand you correctly, you wish to add more than one playlist from Qobuz to play in the App.  You can do so.  The left hand list you see is the active loaded music to play.  When that list plays through or you tire of that assortment playing , you can press the trash can icon on bottom of the list and you get prompt asking if you wish to clear the playlist.   Selecting Yes does not trash your Qobuz Playlists, only clears the active selected music.  You can also add music to the active playlist from your Qobuz Playlists and/or music from your stored files.  Essentially you have control to edit and create custom playlist in the App.  You can clear that or if you wish to save that playlist, you select the edit button (far left button) at bottom of the play list.  It will prompt you to name it and save it.  To see these App saved Playlists, select the music note icon on the bottom of the playlist.  You can then select that playlist to play with the window that opens with note icon, download icon gives option to overwrite and save modified playlist where you may have added or deleted music to the playlist or save to your Qobuz playlist.  

If you want to add additional music to listen to from your Qobuz playlist, you can do so even while your first selection is playing.  To do so, open your Qobuz playlists shown in the App and press down on the playlist you wish to add.  The screen will show an arrow on top of file icon which immediately adds new playlist to begin playing, the arrow inside of file will insert the playlist into the order of the active playing list, and arrow at bottom inserts additions at end of current actively playing music.  

I strongly suggest taking some time to experiment with the App.  It provides you wide choices including just temporarily playing selections to saving as customized playlists within the App. I think once you get some experience with the options, you will change your current view of it.  

Good luck. 

Thanks, great detailed comment, very helpful

so it appears songs must flow thru list in leftmost panel. And any playlist detail seen on right side can not be played - although one song at a time can be played. And to get each list detailed on right side from qobuz into lumin, it requires manual effort one list at a time.  Ap Sounds great but design is very poor.

further seems i cant play albums from qobuz, only one song at a time.


To me this is sooooooooo screwed up.


My experience has been you can add music to the music playing in the left panel.   You can add the whole album by press selecting the album or single tap music change view for all the songs and select those you want to add.  If you add using the arrow on top of the file icon, that selection immediately plays whether individual song(s) or whole album.
