Hello 🙂  
It would be nice if we could resume playback on a different device while listening to music with Plexamp.

For instance, I often listen to music on my phone while commuting, and it would be nice to continue listening to the artist/radio/playlist on my computer once I arrive home.

Simply transfer the play queue from Plexamp on the phone to Plexamp on your desktop.

It works to go from my PC to my phone, but not the opposite  
On the desktop app, the buttons don’t seem to be working for the Android player 😕

What buttons do you mean?  
You simply tap on the device name to transfer the play queue to the other device. It’s the same procedure in either direction.

Yes, clicking on the Android device doesn’t do anything  
The Back/Pause/Forward and Transfer buttons don’t work either

But they work fine on Android when controlling the PC player

Is remote control allowed on both sides? (in the preferences of Plexamp, under Advanced - Remote Control)  
Is there a plex server present in the local network?
