Sadly, you have to. Plex wants a subscription if you want to stream outside of your home network now
I could be wrong, but I don’t believe that’s correct. Their page that has the latest updates around the Plex pass and remote pass still has music streaming under the free tier:
There’s no specific mention of remote music streaming being paywalled.
Could be wrong though, but I can’t test since I have a pass.
The initial announcement is talking about "media" and I assumed that this did include music. That was my motivation to install Jellyfin and that works so great for me that I didn't try to use Plexamp remotely
