More than anything else in Plexamp, I would like to see the seamless integration of downloaded music into my regular albums and playlist folders. The fact that, in order to play music offline, I need to go to a downloaded music tab and scroll through the many dozens of albums and playlists I have sa…

I’m currently thinking about switching from Spotify to Plex/Plexamp, but the lack of a sane offline playback feature is a dealbreaker for me.

Honestly, Plex (and Plexamp) should default into offline mode and enable online features once they’re fully loaded. It’s very annoying that every app / program on the planet now thinks that it needs Internet just to launch. It almost makes you wish for the days of portable CD or MP3 players.

Put your iphone to airplane mode, what do you see? All albums and artists are missing from the home screen -right? See, your local music is another source, not any different than music stored on PMS/NAS drive. The difference is its a local source. What I am suggesting is that the application should…
