About this app

★★ You'll need a Plex Media Server and a Plex account to use this app ★★
★★ From the same people who brought you the Plex app ★★

Plexamp is the answer to the question "what would happen if you gave a handful of Plex music and pixel nerds a few cocktails and free rein to create the app of their dreams?"

Plexamp is a beautiful, dedicated Plex music player with tons of goodies for audiophile purists, music curators, and music fans of all ages looking for their next aural fix.

SUPER AUDIO PLAYER
Loudness leveling, true gapless playback, Sweet Fades™, soft transitions, a configurable preamp, a 7-band EQ, and more. Perfection for golden ears, buttery smooth touches for the rest of us. Custom pre-caching so your music keeps playing, because sometimes life brings you through tunnels.

MUSIC TO YOUR EYES
Experience your music collection like you’ve never seen it before, with our UltraBlur backgrounds, over a dozen hypnotic visualizers, and four visual themes to satisfy every taste.

FIND YOUR FIX
Radios built from your library and your cooler friends' collections. Travel through time, pick a style or mood, or listen album-by-album like the purist you are. Use the Mix Builder to explore and craft your perfect blend. Explore your personal charts and see what you were into last Fall or your top albums from the 60s.

Ratings and reviews

+ The sweet fades feature is amazing. + Lossless support. + Equalizer. + No ads. + Offline playback. - I cannot cast songs from my Plex server if I have downloaded a copy of them to my local phone (I guess it is trying to cast from my phone storage instead) which means I can't cast my favorite songs since they are all downloaded locally for offline playback. - I don't like that my playlist is split between Back To and Up Next. This makes it harder to find tracks at a glance.

TLDR - It's the bomb! I've been a Plex user for years, but never really used the large music library on my server until PlexAmp came along and gave me a useful interface to access it. I absolutely love it! Cache your jams on your Wi-Fi and head out. PlexAmp delivers all your music with none of the nonsense. Can still fetch tracks over cellular, but PlexAmp puts you in control. Sound profiles for tons of earbuds, headphones, and other devices to optimize your listening experience? Sweet!

I am constantly disappointed by this app but the minor annoyances weren't enough for me to bother writing a review. Today, the app worked on my commute but when I went to listen at lunch, the app had signed me out and deleted ALL of my local audio files. (This is media that was downloaded "to device" so I didn't use data when not on Wi-Fi). All gone. It is also terrible at storing track progress. I have been fighting with it for months. I've confirmed settings on my server, and in the app.
