I'd love a music app for my desktop as I've totally given up on iTunes, PHT is overkill, and PlexWeb doesn't work with the Mac keyboard media controls. A small app dedicated to playing music from your library with internet radio support would be excellent. ---

There is a feature request with Vox developer to request adding Plex as a source; more voices may make it more likely. [http://support.coppertino.com/discussions/suggestions/117-support-streaming-from-plex](http://support.coppertino.com/discussions/suggestions/117-support-streaming-from-plex) ---

Vox supporting Plex would be incredible, sadly the devs don’t seem all that enthusiastic about it. Anyone know of any other apps that might consider it? I wouldn’t mind using PlexWeb if I could use the media keys on my Macbook with it. 😕 ---

Yeah I agree. I would love to see someone develop a desktop application that specifically interfaces with PLEX for music. ---

The Plex Chrome app is just about as good as a native application. The media controls should work with it (on Linux, you’ll have to disable GNOME’s default behavior of intercepting media key presses; dunno bout Mac), and otherwise it’s just Plex Web. ---

The plex Chrome app **is** Plex Web. With all the limitations of a web browser. ---

> @OttoKerner said: > The plex Chrome app **is** Plex Web. With all the limitations of a web browser. It is, but there are a few more features available to a Chrome app that aren’t available to a normal web page. Chrome apps are allowed to use media keys, for example, which Plex takes advantage of. You can use the play/pause, next track, and previous track keys on your keyboard with the Plex Chrome app. ---

Didn’t know that. But then, do the media keys still work if the player window doesn’t have focus (i.e. I work with another app in the foreground)? I’d say this is crucial for media keys to be of any use. ---

The Chrome app also has limited codec support. It will not play Apple lossless audio files. I know not all people can hear the difference but the transcoding to MP3 makes everything sound flat and lifeless. ---

I love the simplicity of the Vox UI, but the sync service (LOOP) is miserable. I’d love to have a winamp-style lightweight music player for my Plex music library that let me sync files losslessly, ideally for mobile and desktop. ---
