Plexamp Customer Insights

1. I just WISH I could set it as my default audio player, so when I press the "play music" on the music widget on the lockscreen, it defaulted to plex amp, but it won't even show up as an option to set as default.

2. Will it start playing what's on your phone or continue playing what's already playing on your computer? I've used this all for months and I still get it wrong half the time.This is the perfect companion app for Plex if you have a lot of music stored locally on your Plex server, or if you listen to music from someone else's server.

3. For some reason, google doesn't recognize this app as a music player in the same way it does spotify, apple music etc, and I wish to see that changed.I love this app and what it does, but it's become pretty inconsistent over the last couple of years.

4. But since i had so many issues with Poweramp deleting ratings when i updated my music from my PC using musicbee, i finally took the time to clean up my music library, and import it to Plex.

5. Original review: Cannot use Bluetooth control to play/pause with phone locked, unless this was the last app used before locking.A music lover's dream if you are using Plex as your music source.

6. I was using Poweramp but didn't want to move to Plex since i like to play my music files locally.

7. If you have created any music playlists in Plex over 24 hours, only the first 24 hours will download for offline playback.

8. The cross-fading/blending of tracks is great if your a fan of continuous music playing one track after another.

9. though I miss having podcasts on my Plex as well, I wish they could have been included in this audio centric plex Client.Update: This issue went away on its own at some point in the past.

10. Very unresponsive nfrustratingI've built a vast digital audio library over the years and this is a fantastic way to organize it with minimal data input plus I can access it away from Home all the time! the 'library Radio' and Visualizers are some of my favorite parts of the app.

11. It just flat-out refuses to obey the "Prefer Downloaded Media" option and constantly hangs as I'm leaving my house (and therefore my wi-fi), even though the playlists that are playing are listed in the Downloaded page.
