![]() Been a Plex user for about 8 years and it has made media playback in the home so incredibly simple and I cannot praise that enough. I love seeing Plex take this new step with a dedicated music app. Not trying to bash on what has been done here. ![]() Last but not least once I select the album and it’s showing me the songs on said album I don’t want to have to click a song and then click play to play the song, just immediately play when I click it, no need to confirm what I’d like to do. I’d love the ability to edit the home to remove things like the radio and such. By default I think the preamp, loudness equalization, clipping help features should be turned off by default and we can go in and tweak those. It drives me nuts having to always turn it back on every time I would launch the normal Plex app. Similar to when I use plex to play music from the default app or on the TV it needs to have a repeat all or repeat single button, and it needs to remember your setting even if you close Plexamp. It is astounding they haven’t added it yet or why it would EVER be left out in the first place. It would be utterly perfect with a repeat option. Because I can’t be bothered to look down 6 times to start the song over when I’m driving him to swim lessons, it’s not safe. It is the only reason I take off a star and the only reason I don’t use Plexamp exclusively on every platform. Especially since I have a 6 year old son and often times it’s him that wants a single song over and over. These are my files and I should be able to listen to them EXACTLY how I want to, and if that means listening to one album or one song over and over, then so be it. It is an insanely simple option to add to bring it in line with every other music player available (aside for dumb streaming “radio” apps that don’t let you do anything but skip forward). Great app, supports FLAC when locally connected, great visualizer, and clean. This on its own is why I can’t give it 5 stars.Īlso would be nice for the “All Music” option at the top to be a little bigger for easier selection. Though I would really enjoy being able to adjust shuffle and repeat on the fly, just like every music app does. Love it’s functionality and ability to adjust eq on an iOS device. It would also be nice to set the new library page as your default when opening Plexamp. Had to make 4 playlists and download them separately in order to get whole library downloaded. Also please let us download our library easier. Please let us scroll through our music offline if we have downloaded the music. ![]() You can only shuffle the playlists you have downloaded, and you cannot scroll through those song’s, only play them. For instance if you turn of cellular data access to Plexamp, and if you go off WiFi, you cannot scroll through any of your music. I’ve attached some screenshots for reference.Update: latest update added a section for you to go through all your artist, tracks, albums, etc, and gave alphabetical side scrolling!!! As I’ve used Plexamp I’ve noticed when trying to not use any data, Plexamp can act real weird. Why is that? People have been talking about Plexamp for its mobile application, but it could be a serious Roon competitor in the future. I haven’t gotten anything similar to the Roon squid or any disconnections to the server or the iOS app crashing! The app feels like a finished, refined product, whereas the Roon iOS app feels like a forever beta. But there were times that I had to disable Qobuz in Roon just to play my local library and it was never this smooth. Granted, it’s using my local library only. The app is very snappy and search is instantaneous. Maybe my equipment is not resolving enough. To my ears, I couldn’t tell the difference between Roon and Plexamp playback. And it can stream to Chromecast, albeit not gaplessly. It plays gaplessly and my DAC reports the correct sample rate. You can control the playback with your phone, computer, etc. Streaming is from the server to the endpoint. I installed the Plexamp app on my phone to use as remote, chose Plexamp on my pi as output and presto. I then used a browser to configure the Plexamp on pi to output to my DAC and make it bit perfect (removed loudness leveling, sweet fades, etc.). And then installed Plexamp on a raspberry pi 3B+ (DietPi), put in the token from my Plex Pass sub, and configured it to run on boot. I installed Plex Media Server on a miniPC and added my modest library (320 albums, all FLAC). The main difference is that the Roon Core decodes the FLAC files and sends PCM to the endpoints, while the Plex server sends the FLAC files to the Plexamp endpoint where decoding and DSP happens. From what I can tell, it runs pretty much like Roon without the frills, magazine like UI, and the frequent disconnections (hey yo!).
