    Im betting lunch they are losing market to jellyfin and the free finamp.

    Plexamp has been kinda stagnant for a while and can be finicky on lossy connections (ie: cell service)

      finamp is missing enough features to me to make plexamp worth paying for to me (not automatically switching to transcoding on mobile data, not supporting opus transcodes)

        Ive been increasingly considering Jellyfin. I really only use plex for OTA tv/libraries on roku’s 99% of the time

        Rarely do I use mobile or others. But plexamp is like 99% mobile too.

      Another shitty thing about Plexamp is there is no easy way to download your entire library in a converted format and auto download any new additions.

      The developer said that “this is not the intended use of Plexamp”, but the reasoning is flawed IMO

        That’s probably my biggest complain tbh.

        My entire library can fit on my phone. No reason to stream. If my home internet has problems I can’t listen to music? Or if I’m out in the sticks (often enough) I suddenly find out what’s actually cached/downloaded and what isn’t solely because it’ll skip entire albums or just fail to start songs etc.
