(The original Plexamp release offered remote control, but it was dumped with the v3.0 update. Like Spotify Connect, this feature lets you control a Plexamp playerвЂ™s volume, song selection, queue, and more using another Plexamp-equipped device. If you stream local media (like photos, videos etc) from your PC. The other major feature here, as youвЂ™ve probably noticed, is remote control support. Designed with Media Plex Server users in mind, Plexamp is a straightforward audio. 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.

WeвЂ™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).

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.ДЄpp 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. Plexamp is a small music player for your desktop, with a number of unique features.Throw your best FLACs at it and experience sonic bliss. If I were using one of LMS or the various Volumio type variants, switching to Plexamp would be a complete no-brainer.Plex isnвЂ™t just for movies and TV shows. It's early days, it's not Roon (nor will it ever be), but it's promising and it delivers.

I thoroughly enjoyed my listening this weekend.ДЄs a Roon lifer I'll stick with Roon when I'm in the mood to explore my library and sit down to albums, but when I'm just in the mood to have music of a certain style, feel and mood wash over me Plexamp will be my goto DJ. Overall, what Super Sonic enables is its most compelling feature - a built-in DJ that really knows his/her shit and can surface real nuggets in your collection you've long forgotten about or not thought of playing.

The app on a Linux desktop is woeful (I'm guessing it'd be no different on Windows/MAC) - basically an emulated smartphone interface, so I'd definitely use it on smartphone/tablet rather than PC

UI - not bad, but feels rather primitive compared with Roon and I think at this stage its biggest negative (for me).

I used it all weekend, and this is one area I'd say it beats Roon's Valence hands down - reason being it actually knows something about the acoustic properties of the music in your collection, so its choices are based on that rather than people who like this typically like that etc. For anyone that's enjoyed MusicIP in years past (or still does in the form of Spicefly Sugarcube on LMS) this is a real boon to listening when you don't want to think about what to listen to next.

Super Sonic is a fantastic feature that enables Plexamp to create perpetual radio from your music library based on a seed song, album, artist etc.

One could do the same in Roon with Tags & Bookmarks, but I think Plex are onto something here, and then coupled with Super Sonic I feel it's really got an upper handin this dept.

It auto generates some interesting 'radio' stations / views of your music library allowing easy access into cross sections of your library which can also be used to kick off radio sessions etc.

Additionally, it supports a range of music formats, including lossless ones like FLAC.

It auto fetches artist pictures, album artwork etc (and filled blanks where Roon didn't) You can use Plexamp offline, or remote control other Plex players when youвЂ™re connected to your network.

It clearly uses TiVo () genre, style & mood metadata to enable browsing/exploration of your music, showing related artists, similar artists etc.

Library ingestion is quick and pretty accurate (and you have the choice of leveraging or ignoring file based metadata).

supports Tidal integration, Chromecast, AirPlay & probably a host of other protocols (I only tried Chromecast using it as a transport).

enables you to play your music in and outside of your home - basically if you can access your home network you can play your music.

Here's a quick synopsis of my experience: I let it ingest and analyse a portion (about 500 albums) of my music collection and went about using it as my front-end for listening on the weekend. The flatpak can be built locally using the following commands: make build.

Having recently become aware of Plexamp, and in particular its Super Sonic audio analysis engine I purchased a lifetime Plex Pass on the weekend (available for $89.99 USD through 23:59 UTC on Novemfor those interested). This repository contains the source code of the Plexamp flatpak.
