Let me preface this by saying I love Plex. My family loves Plex. I want to love Plex Music - but I can’t, yet. I have a huge music library. I am constantly adding new music. I run an Ampache server and use the Android SubSonic client DSub to listen to my music. Why? Because it just works…well. One of the simplest features DSub has, is whenever I open the app, there is a “recently added” Playlist that includes pretty much anything from the last week or so. Tap. Shuffle. Done. All recent artists, all recent albums, all recent tracks. With Plex Discover, we get Recently Added, but no way to shuffle the contents. One has to select an album (unless I really am just daft). Can we just add a shuffle button next to “Recently Added” that does just that, shuffle all the content in “Recently Added”?

Sorry if this is a dupe.

A general Smart-Playlist-Feature would be a huge improvement. Users could solve these issues themselves.

I’m a bit baffled by the interface. I can shuffle my whole music library on my phone but I can’t do the same thing on my laptop. This would seem to be a very basic function. I was hoping this would be plug and play. I’ll just play everything through Sonos. They figured this out already.
