About Plexamp
Plexamp is a dedicated music player from Plex for people who keep their own music collection on a Plex Media Server. It streams your library to phones, computers and other devices from home or away, and was built with audiophiles in mind: gapless playback, loudness levelling, crossfades, and support for lossless and hi-res formats. Its standout features come from analysing your library: it can build radio stations and mixes of sonically similar tracks, albums and artists, offer a Guest DJ that weaves in related songs, and explore your collection in creative ways. The app itself is free, and a Plex Pass subscription unlocks features such as the mix builders, Sonic Sage, downloads and more. The catch is that you need to run a Plex Media Server, which means a computer or NAS that stays on and some setup, and it only plays music you own or host. It runs on iOS, Android, Windows, macOS and Linux.
Best for: Music collectors who host their library on Plex and want a polished player everywhere.
