Madiator2011Free Bird! Plexamp Spreads Its Wings for Every Music Lover | Plex
loaffySuch great news. I absolutely love Plexamp and now that it’s free for the masses I can only hope there’s more awesome features coming in the future.
Im betting lunch they are losing market to jellyfin and the free finamp.
Plexamp has been kinda stagnant for a while and can be finicky on lossy connections (ie: cell service)
And they still lock downloads behind plex pass so guess my jellyfin server isn’t going anywhere
Ive been increasingly considering Jellyfin. I really only use plex for OTA tv/libraries on roku’s 99% of the time
Rarely do I use mobile or others. But plexamp is like 99% mobile too.
I’ve only tried it with music and iptv channels, both of which work well and free dvr is a large plus
finamp is missing enough features to me to make plexamp worth paying for to me (not automatically switching to transcoding on mobile data, not supporting opus transcodes)
Another shitty thing about Plexamp is there is no easy way to download your entire library in a converted format and auto download any new additions.
The developer said that “this is not the intended use of Plexamp”, but the reasoning is flawed IMO
That’s probably my biggest complain tbh.
My entire library can fit on my phone. No reason to stream. If my home internet has problems I can’t listen to music? Or if I’m out in the sticks (often enough) I suddenly find out what’s actually cached/downloaded and what isn’t solely because it’ll skip entire albums or just fail to start songs etc.
