While I could categorize most of this in "Areas for Potential Improvement", I felt like Tidal really deserves its own spot. Unlike normal metadata based matching, this will get similar songs matched together even if the artists are distant. I love being in total control of adding things to the top or bottom of queue. Queue system - its sad I have to even highlight this, but so many services get this wrong (cough spotify).If you drive a lot in dead spots, its great that Plexamp is constantly caching your queue ahead of time so playback is uninterrupted. Google Play Music did this but YTM seemingly does not. This is a big one that Plexamp does flawlessly. (Don't flame me on this, I'm just explaining my use case) I know several people want to download their entire catalog but that defeats the purpose of Plex server in my opinion - I just have it smart download my liked songs/library radio and am pretty content with that. Downloads feature has worked flawlessly for me.While it has some quirks (some I go into below), its pretty consistent. The interface is pretty clean and makes sense.I honestly listen to this more than anything else and is one of those features I never knew I wanted until I had it. The Library radio is great - it mixes liked songs with popular tracks from my library.Starting off with the things I absolutely love about Plexamp. I had never really rated a song in any service until recently and am not a playlist person. I primarily listen to music as either entire albums or library on random. I was a big Google Play Music user/subscriber that took full advantage of the combo of streaming+music locker service, but the YouTube Music transition has been less than stellar for my habits for a lot of reasons I won't go into. I'm a very long time Plex user but never really used it for music prior to this year. I'm a huge fan of Plexamp, so going into this note that while I am critical in several areas, overall I'm at like an 8.5/10 satisfaction. (The original Plexamp release offered remote control, but it was dumped with the v3.0 update.I thought it might be interesting and/or helpful to share my experiences of Plexamp over the last several months, along with several suggestions for improvement that I've encountered. Like Spotify Connect, this feature lets you control a Plexamp player’s volume, song selection, queue, and more using another Plexamp-equipped device. The other major feature here, as you’ve probably noticed, is remote control support. Here are the new Plexamp features introduced with the v4.0 update: The result is a faster, smoother app, which starts more quickly and transitions more smoothly between screens. We’re thrilled to share the next major release of Plexamp with you! One major focus in this release was an upgrade of some of the core building blocks of the app (React Native 27, React Navigation 11, and many others). Additionally, Plexamp will now link with your Android Auto system automatically.Īs explained by Plex CTO and co-founder Elan Feingold, Your Plexamp library should load a lot faster than it used to ( Reddit users confirm as much), and bugs related to queuing, offline listening, and TIDAL should be resolved. And now, the Plexamp music player is gaining a ton of improvements and new features with the v4.0 update.Īpp performance is the defining feature of this update. The streaming platform also lets you build a personal music collection that you can stream from anywhere.
