I have already transcoded my music collection to quality I like, I do not want to re-transcode mp3 files to sync to my device. It is wastage of resource and time. Please add option to sync original mp3 files. Thank you.

+1; highly supported. Otherwise real music enthusiasts can’t really use Plex, since there is always transcoding happening

Would this feature allow other music apps (i.e. Google Play Music or Amazon Music) to be able to pick up the synced mp3s? I would like Plex to simply sync my music to the standard Music folder (choice of internal or external storage) so that any music app can play the files. Or better yet give you…
