SQLAllFatherOne of the joys of managing your own music collection is rediscovering favorite albums from decades long gone.<a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Plexamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plexamp</a>

RxBrad<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@noplasticshower" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@noplasticshower</a> I've tried Jellyfin music players a couple times. Not even in the same *galaxy* as <a href="https://mastodon.rxbrad.com/tags/PlexAmp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PlexAmp</a>. The "DJs" make that app. And, unlike shuffling music in anything Jellyfin has to offer (on Android, at least), they do a good job of keeping my wife's country music out of my metal playlists.

noplasticshowerPretty pleased with how much better PlexAmp is than the old Plex app for streaming my own music pile. Much better client. It has an improved android auto interface too.Having your own music server has never been more fun!<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/streaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#streaming</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#music</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plex</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/PlexAmp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PlexAmp</a>

Luka Manestar<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/WorkingFromHome" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#WorkingFromHome</a> has its advantages. Blasting cool songs when they hit your <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/plexamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#plexamp</a> playlist. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Prodigy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Prodigy</a> with Spitfire is definitely one of those songs.Being my last work day for this week, this is appropriate.

Brad RomanceTLDR: Consider turning off “Loudness Leveling” if you use <a href="https://toot.chez.gay/tags/PlexAmp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PlexAmp</a>.—Spent a chunk of time last night trying to figure out why music didn’t sound so good in PlexAmp compared to other apps. I was actually happy enough with the audio quality until I compared a track directly with Apple Music and realised there was a difference.I got some new headphones recently and was faffing with them, trying to see if they support Dolby Atmos (they do, but not in Apple Music for some reason). In the process of doing that I found that compared to Apple Music, the same track in PlexAmp was somehow flatter, almost muffled. The file being played is a high quality one, it should be pretty much identical if it’s not playing Atmos (which it wasn’t) so this was confusing.I was disappointed. I’ve pretty much stopped using Apple Music altogether but I want the best quality I can get. So I did some digging to find out what’s going on. I logged into the Plex web app on my phone and played the same song… it was as good as when I played it on Apple Music. That told me the problem wasn’t the file at all, it MUST be PlexAmp.Going through the settings, I disabled the EQ, no change. Then I spotted the “Loudness Leveling” settings under the Playback menu. In there, two things were turned on: Loudness Leveling and Limiter. Turning off Loudness Leveling disabled Limiter too.There was no change immediately, but I quit PlexAmp and relaunched it and… the music sounded as good as Apple Music. 🥳I’m sure Loudness Leveling has its uses but for me, I didn’t like what it was doing. I’m much happier with it disabled.

Stewart TolhurstPlex types - is it worth springing for a lifetime PlexPass before the price goes up? Basically it gives me the same functions as iTunes Match (albeit in in a separate app from the streaming service, but also covers offline video), but for a one off cost rather than an annual sub. The extra features in PlexAmp seem useful, if not essential (seems like it is aiming for feature parity with the big streaming players). £100 one off payment seems pretty good value to me… <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plex</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/PlexAmp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PlexAmp</a>

RxBradJust had an urge to bust out the USB-C to 3.5mm adapter and listen to some <a href="https://mastodon.rxbrad.com/tags/PlexAmp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PlexAmp</a> on my phone with wired headphones. Bluetooth is easier, sure. But I'd legitimately forgotten how much better these Grado cans sound with music.

Ashley CaveDays like today seem good to encourage people to purchase and own their music.Aside from the benefit that you're not dependent on another service, you can also support artists, labels, record stores etc. too by purchasing from them, rather than huge platforms paying out a pittance while raking profits.And managing and playing a digital collection doesn't need to be complicated, I've been using <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/PlexAmp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PlexAmp</a> for years now, and there's other services you can use too, take your pick.<a href="https://techhub.social/tags/spotify" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spotify</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/SpotifyDown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SpotifyDown</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plex</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#music</a>

edgar :birdsite:<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Symfonium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Symfonium</a> is a pretty great <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Plexamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plexamp</a> alternative and it has WearOS support. Kinda tempted to move to Android. I only use this client on my Android DAP but this feature would sway me to move phones. As I wanted a Plexamp client for the Apple Watch for ages. <a href="http://support.symfonium.app/t/wear-os-application/4741" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">http://support.symfonium.app/t/wear-os-application/4741</a>

Rick WilliamsI’ve been using <a href="https://twit.social/tags/plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plex</a> for over a decade. For some reason I’ve slept on <a href="https://twit.social/tags/plexamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plexamp</a> because I through streaming was all I needed. After hearing several people talk favorably about it I decided to throw my old collection in it. What a fantastic app! I feel like I’ve rediscovered a ton of music I love. The DJs and Stations are really fun and well done. It’s just a joy to use. Check it out if you have an old music library lying around.
