What it does
Plexamp provides music-library listening with free features and additional Plex Pass functions.
Use Plexamp with your Plex music library for free streaming, gapless playback and smart stations. Plex Pass adds downloads, lyrics and sonic-discovery tools; those are separate from basic free listening.
For sonic analysis, the server admin needs Plex Pass and a supported 64-bit Plex Media Server version 1.24 or later. Choose the analysis schedule under the server’s Library settings, enable Sonic Analysis for the music library and save. Once analysis completes, Plexamp can offer sonically related tracks, albums and radio. Processing can occupy the server for hours or days on a large library.
