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.

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.

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.
