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…

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.

This NEEDS to be seamless. If I browse my library and play something that I have already downloaded for offline it should play the already downloaded file. I only recently realized that Downloads don’t work the way they should. While at home and on WiFi I would “Download” things that I’m going to b…

As our mobile devices contain more and more storage, people download many albums to their devices to take on the road. When you travel, either on the airplane or maybe remote roads, cellular signal availability is diminished or none. One BIG missing feature is the ability to instruct the application…

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…

Correct, but that’s what I’m trying to explain. These are shown separately on purpose so the user will know exactly where the music is playing from. The app could automatically switch to using the local files, but when the internet connection is restored, the user could forget they were looking at…
