    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.

    No way! Excited to use this, I hope it works with my last.fm plugin though.

      You set scrobbling on the server, so whatever you listen to through Plex will work regardless of the app.

        Aye, I have it set up on my server but haven’t used plexamp before so I was just unsure. Works as expected :)

    Wonder how Plex justified making it free. Baked-in analytics?

        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.

    This is exactly the news I needed today. I have been playing with the idea of using Funkwhale or Ampache, but couldn’t bring myself to self host another media system knowing that Plex could theoretically do it. The regular Plex app sucks so hard for music tho, this is gonna solve my issue I think.

    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.

      Of course it does. How could it possibly work without logging into Plex?
