I am currently a Navidrome user and use Symfonium on my android phone. The beauty of this setup is that I can favorite any song, album, or playlist I want and it will automatically cache to my phone. This is a beautiful implementation and it serves my exact practice.
Plexamp is a much better music app that Navidrome or Symfonium and I’d like to use it as my main app, but the lack of this feature is a dealbreaker for me. I have a 4TB music collection and an extremely beefy phone and I’d love to be able to cache whichever albums or playlists I’d like to my phone. If offline, I really don’t care about the server side features.
Have you considered creating a smart collection or playlist for that purpose (e.g. based on all songs you rated with max stars; possibly more criteria)? You could then tell Plex to download that playlist/collection.
Plexamp should refresh the download if more songs match the criteria.
I haven’t. I’m not much of a playlist maker. I mostly listen to albums and would like the option to cache these offline and filter my library for my local files if offline.
Check out the download tab, the little down arrow at the bottom of the screen in Android at least. That shows a list of the albums and playlists saved for offline listening.
There’s also a setting to favor downloaded copies of songs.
You can’t search through downloaded music, you can only browse the list of things you’ve downloaded, but I think it can do most of what you want.
