PlexAmp is great. I use it a lot, but it has a problem for me. I need to use the PowerToys “Keep on top” feature so I can see what’s playing, but it gets in the way, even though I have two 4K monitors. It would be useful if we could have the song’s info usefully displayed when hovering over the taskbar entry (in Windows). Right now, that display is not useful.

The newly released version of Plexamp has added support for Windows media integration which will allow controlling playback from the Windows media controls.

> **Windows media integration.** The old desktop app had precisely nothing here: no Now Playing overlay, no system transport, nothing in the volume flyout. Windows finally gets proper media integration with artwork and controls, through the same native layer that drives Now Playing on macOS. Linux MPRIS is native now too, and does seek, position, volume, raise and quit properly, which we know a few of you have been waiting on for an embarrassingly long time.
