This is the Plex announcement below. What about Plexamp?! > TIDAL is going away. > > Dear Plex user, > > We’re reaching out today to let you know that TIDAL will be ending its integration with Plex. Beginning on September 26, 2024, TIDAL subscriptions billed through Plex will no longer be renewed. That means that the subscription will expire and you’ll lose access to the TIDAL service one month after your last renewal. > > You may be asking, “what’s next?” > > Keep an eye out for an email from TIDAL, which will include instructions on how to continue subscribing to their music and features using the TIDAL app. > > We recognize this may impact you greatly, and we apologize for the inconvenience. > > Sincerely, > > Your Friends at Plex ---

Plexamp isn’t going anywhere if that is what your question is ---

So it will still connect to TIDAL? ---

No. Tidal is ending Plex integration as it says in announcement. ---

Right, well maybe the announcement should have mentioned that this affects Plexamp too for those who may not understand the system architecture, but thank you for the clarification. I will begin looking for a new solution to integrate my local and streaming music. ---

May ask why only Plex and not Audirvana or Roon? ---

As far as I know Tidal is ending all third party integrations. They gave us time to figure out how to sunset service, ( ending subscriptions purchase though us and such), Those services may have just not sent any announcement yet. We don’t have info on what deals they made with other services. ---

I use Roon for their deep integration with Tidal. Plex is second in my preference because it hasn’t that integration and it’s not that polished with filters. But it’s my first choice outside home. Now I hope to give us a superb Plexamp v5 in order to keep using it for local music. Of course the movie section is perfect and my plex pass will continue to exist. ---

Elan says that Plexamp v5 isn’t happening, so everything else will just be another v4.x update. ---

Elan was asked in the fireside chat last week if there’s going to be a version 5 of Plex anytime soon that’ll change „everything“ — and elan said „no“ to that. > [@Plex Fireside in the Forum 2024](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-fireside-in-the-forum-2024/885879/90): > > > [@Plex Fireside in the Forum 2024](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-fireside-in-the-forum-2024/885879/78): > > > > the long-anticipated Plexamp v5 release > > This was always a myth! There is no massive v5 waiting behind the scenes, I’m not sure why people thought there was 🙂 We do have some cool stuff coming up, but at this point we kind of stuck with 4.10, 4.11, so we’d never have to hit v5! Nothing ominous, no „no more updates“ or the likes. ---

If they follow Donald Knuth’s path with TeX and it’s infinite versioning towards pi we’ll be happy. BUT if they don’t add new features as we expect it’ll be a gravestone. I can enumerate many things. Bitperfect on all platforms, proper DSD support, better library integration with online services like Musicbrainz. And many many other things. ---

I have no particular allegiance to TIDAL. Frankly, I only signed up for TIDAL service because of Plex integration and the nifty Plexamp app (and FLAC). I’m sure the music streaming services are getting stingy in such a competitive landscape. I would sign up for Qobuz in an instant, for example, if it were integrated in Plex. Imagine native hi-res streaming in Plexamp with the option to (impulsively) purchase downloads right from the app that go directly into my Plex music library—already tagged with metadata and everything. ---

I can only assume that data collection via an official app is worth more than the music we pay for… 👀 You would have thought that by ending all 3rd party integrations, a lot of people would go elsewhere? Yet, some bean-counter has obviously decided that this will save/make them money… ---

Nobody said „never“. I guess Elan‘s point was there’s no imminent mythical update that’ll „change everything, everyone‘s ever been dreaming of“. No features have been held back, no evil plans. Plexamp keeps evolving one release at a time. > **[Definition of NUANCE](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/nuance)** > > a subtle distinction or variation; a subtle quality : nicety; sensibility to, awareness of, or ability to express delicate shadings (as of meaning, feeling, or value)… See the full definition ---
