    Plex Amp? Nah. Hauling 8 pounds of CD’s to work everyday? Yeah.

    I didn’t know it was not free, I have a lifetime Plex Pass subscription and I kinda always knew it was there… Although I don’t use it because Spotify.

    I’m glad to see there is now a free version of Plex Amp. This is, by far, my favorite way to stream my music library.

    Love Plex Amp for it’s integration with my Plex server, but the fact it does not read star ratings in ID3 tags really hurts.

      No need to shut down Plex just to use another option, so hopefully you can just go back. I run Jellyfin on the same NAS as my main Plex server as a backup, for example.

    This is exactly the news I needed today. I have been playing with the idea of using Funkwhale or Ampache, but couldn’t bring myself to self host another media system knowing that Plex could theoretically do it. The regular Plex app sucks so hard for music tho, this is gonna solve my issue I think.

    I love plex amp. The built in radio is great. Just wish there were either more genres or fewer “styles”

      You set scrobbling on the server, so whatever you listen to through Plex will work regardless of the app.

        Aye, I have it set up on my server but haven’t used plexamp before so I was just unsure. Works as expected :)

          Last.fm is just a way to track what you listen to, and get recommendations off of it. The recommendations are actually pretty good, which is why I bother with it. You set it up on your Plex server, so it’s pretty much fire and forget.

    If only they would spin back up their photo library feature they cut from plex into it’s own app so I can remove my reliability on google photos. I feel like so many people rely on streaming music, but this is still good for those that still maintain an offline library. I think photos would be such a better sell, since icloud and google users or anyone externally hosting their photos could easily download them from those services, and then immediately start self hosting.

      They are plenty of options! Immich is a really popular one , I went with Synology photos since I own a Synology NAS

          PhotoPrism is another major competitor in case you feel like checking another option out

    Lies! Proprietary software is never “free,” even if the price is $0.

    If anything, the correct word to describe it is “worthless.”

      Stop complaining and if you want open source so bad make it. I am hardcore open source advocate but you are going beyond , they are giving out for free.

      Whatever dude its definitely the best android music player especially if you use Plex already.

      It requires logging in because it requires you having your own media server already set up with your own library of stuff. It’s self-hosting, not a subscription type service.

      Of course it does. How could it possibly work without logging into Plex?

        You can share your Plex server on your LAN with no authentication required. That’s a use case for the app not requiring a password.
