This new build is still in the early stages, but the setup is much less complicated than earlier attempts. There were a few beta builds back in 2019, but that version required an authentication token extracted from earlier versions of Plexamp and an old (now insecure) version of Node. This isn't the first time Plex has experimented with a remotely-accessible version of Plexamp for the Raspberry Pi. There's even support for the PiFi Digi+ board, which attaches to the top of a Raspberry Pi and adds an enhanced audio chip and optical output. Something inside Plexamp means it’s always converted to pcm apparently. Plex gave said that hd audio is on the roadmap for Plexamp which is good, but not dsd apparently.

You can also install the Plexamp server as a system service that starts at boot, for a more Chromecast Audio-like experience. Interestingly that’s a Plexamp limitation, not Plex itself as the plex compatible prism player does output HD audio to an attached dac (though not dsd sadly). Once it's downloaded to a Pi and opened, you can play music through a web interface on any web browser on the same local network, or choose the Pi as an output in the Plexamp app on other devices.

It’s also everywhere you’d want to be, including iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, and Linux.Related: How to Set Up Plex (and Watch Your Movies on Any Device)Įlan Feingold, CTO and Co-Founder at Plex, shared an early build of a Plexamp server for the Raspberry Pi on Tuesday.

As a standalone application, it provides a (highly customizable) focused experience for music, with features found nowhere else.

Over the years Plexamp has evolved from a small, highly opinionated music player, to being the flagship place for music in Plex. Last year, media software maker Plex released Plexamp, a subscriber-only music app whose name was a nod to the classic Winamp player it aimed to replace. Now, Plex says the Plexamp app will become free, allowing users to play tracks from their own library or the TIDAL music streaming service with high-quality audio and support for lossless audio. Built by a handful of people in their spare time, Plexamp may or may not have started over a few whisky sours. It was one of the early fruits of Plex Labs-the place for employee passion projects and community creativity. The feature leverages your library and your Tidal subscription to look for things you might like, then proceeds. Plexamp is officially adding Sonic Sage, a feature powered by ChatGPT that will generate unique music playlists tailored to users. It was a great addition to the Plex ecosystem when it was first introduced, but it was only available to paying Plex Pass members. The latest service to go AI is none other than Plex - more specifically, its music player, Plexamp. Plex said in a blog post, 'Plexamp was born out of a combination of passion for music and Plex. Plexamp is a dedicated music player app that connects to your existing Plex library, giving you a way to enjoy your music without the extra clutter of movies, TV shows, and everything else in your general Plex library. The functionality locked to Plex Pass includes downloads support, mix builders, the ChatGPT-powered 'Sonic Sage' playlist creator, automatic sample rate matching, the headless remote client for Raspberry Pi and other similar devices, and the equalizer.
