Calling all classical music fans! You can now browse and search by conductor—making it easier than ever to follow your favorite maestros. Jazz lovers, rejoice! You can now use the performer tag to list individual musicians—like Miles Davis: trumpet; John Coltrane: alt-saxophone; Art Blakey: drums—and Rigelian will intelligently split them up for better browsing and searching. We’ve turbocharged the caching for UPnP media servers—it’s now over 50% faster and more reliable. Less waiting, more listening. And for those who like to keep things tidy: you can now choose to clear just the remainder of the play queue—or wipe it all clean. Your call!
