Well this is cool. Now time for me to a media server again.

    The app is great! I’m glad it’s finally available to everyone.

    But Plex’s music support is clearly an afterthought. Anemic ID3 support, impossible to edit tags, even worse playlist editing support, etc. It’s quite sad

        The app is great! But if you’re used to micromanage you songs, you gonna have a bad time.

          I honestly still use iTunes as a manger for my music, and doubletwist on android to sync solely because it moves over the smart playlists as well. I have WAY more music than necessary and I’m very meticulous about what music goes where.

          If the iTunes playlists could sync natively to plex it really wouldn’t be that much of an issue and I’d stream from my server :/.

            I feel you. I got tired of iTunes and migrated everything thing to Plex for the sake of usability / device compatibility, and I am dumbfounded by the lack of basic features in Plex music.

            They basically applied the features of Plex Movies over to Plex Music without really thinking about it much.

              Yep that’s exactly what I thought too. I do like how simple the movie/tv management CAN be (assuming naming structures are correct) but a lot is lost in the weeds of simplicity.

              Well, TV management is easy unless it’s anime (looking at you DBZ). Or looney toons. Ended up having to buy a license to file bot for dbz.

    Don’t get why people gets so exited for this when there’s better software without paywall and open-source like Navidrome or Funkwhale.

    If you going to self-host, use a dedicated software
