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.
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.
Plex Amp? Nah. Hauling 8 pounds of CD’s to work everyday? Yeah.
I love plexamp. Happy to pay for plex pass
Wonder how Plex justified making it free. Baked-in analytics?
They might be losing free users to Jellyfin, Emby, etc?
Probably. Jellyfin also has a music version of the app similar to plex amp.
Honestly I have been considering making the switch.
I didn’t know Jellyfin had a music version. Is it not on Play Store?
Edit: Oh, I found it on F-droid. It’s called Boum. It is on Play Store too it just doesn’t show up when you search for jellyfin.
I think it’s called finamp

There’s one called fintunes too.
One of them is Finamp. I think there might be more. The normal players (the official one and Findroid) also play music just fine FWIW.

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.
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
Thanks! I will definitely check those out. Really appreciate it.
PhotoPrism is another major competitor in case you feel like checking another option out
Thanks! I’ll def add it to my list.
I’ve been testing music servers lately so this is perfect timing!
Requires logging into Plex to even try it out, alas. Fastest add and delete ever.
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.
Lies! Proprietary software is never “free,” even if the price is $0.
If anything, the correct word to describe it is “worthless.”
Whatever dude its definitely the best android music player especially if you use Plex already.
