With this new Plex music update, I've decided on switching from Google Play Music to Plex music full-time. I use my phone as the primary media player in the car, though, and rely on a quick widget to change tracks or see what's playing. Is there any hope for a dedicated Plex music widget?

&nbsp;

I should also clarify, the standard widget is just far too big for the other things that I also have on the home screen.

&nbsp;

Hah! I should also clarify that I didn't realize the current widget has to be set as a remote for a specific player. That doesn't really help for my situation, though.

&nbsp;

Just a request, but not a deal-breaker! Thanks for all the hard work!

> I would love to have this back as a feature of the Android Mobile App. Being able to start the last music file (playlist/album/etc.) up again where left off without having to reopen the app. Many player have this (some known and some not). The following are just the Music/Audiobook Players I have on my phone now. Not sure why Plex did away with this feature. Think we could bring it back?
