Nowadays I'm practically using plexamp far more often than I watch my own video content on Plex. I started using Plex for music about 6 months ago and plexamp has been such a powerhouse of a music app in ways I never expected. I really appreciate the specific DJs they give you with sonic analysis. I've realized it's also made me enjoy buying CDs again, which are especially cheap these days!

I do, but I am bitter that my server doesn't allow access to plexamp for anyone but me the server manager.

I personally bought Plex Lifetime Pass for my family use, I would not have bought it just for personal use. The only outcome of plexamp behind pass for every single user is that I get less out of my server, my family are never going to pay A$6.00 per month to rent a music app with only my music.

I also recently found out that none of my newer users can even download from my server, which wasn't the case when I bought my lifetime plan. Not that downloads work at all.

At least with Symfonium I can buy the app outright, if all my family members were on Android we'd go that option.

I was enjoying plexamp but had no idea of the restrictions. My missus probably hadn't bothered to try it yet so we hadn't noticed.

Such a shame because plexamp seems to me superior to the experience from all other streaming apps, apart from my less than perfect music collection!

Will have to give this Symfonium a look!

You can just add users to Plex Home and then they can use all your Plex Pass features.
