Would be nice if we could upload new music files to the Plex server from plexamp. In this workflow I’m downloading new music purchased from a website on my phone. I want to play it in plexamp, but it requires moving over to my desktop PC to redownload those files or transfer from my phone In order to upload it to my Plex server.  
Ideally someone could open plexamp, select import local media and then have those local audio files uploaded to the current Plex server.  
Those files would then be available for playback without having to switch from mobile to PC.
