Have just replaced the super convoluted Spotify process for getting local files to my phone with Plexamp.

Straight up streaming into CarPlay.

Well done Plex.

I did this a while, got fed up with not having any new music, got myself Tidal through Plex. You can use Tidal with Plexamp and you get a small discount when you get Tidal through Plex.

A solution is also to download new music every morning... And end up having terabytes of flac to manage in a few years.

Still worth it. And now the plexamp random playlist starts to be very interesting.

Thing is I like to stay in a certain style or genre when listening to music (Plex has a nice feature with moods though). I ended up making a library per broad genre of music and just randomising all when listening. Even that gets old.

@Vinny_93 @plex 3/4 of family won’t move from Spotify so unless I double up on subs I’m back where I started with Apple and Spotify. Good tip though and I will have a look.

I'd prefer to use Tidal in Plexamp, but not all Plexamp features are available to Tidal users and that kills it for me.

[-] Vinny_93@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Not all Tidal features are available to Plexamp either. Track radio for instance.

Yes! It makes Tidal on Plexamp such a hard sell because you're missing features on both sides. I don't understand why they did that, but okay.
