Plexamp is since a while back good enough to be used 98 % of the time. So thanks everyone for making a great app that I hope will just get better and better.
I do have a wish list though.
-
Make it easier to remove tracks from upcoming songs. As it is now I must drag my finger from the very right to almost the very left, maybe 80 % of the screen. I’m a lazy person so I would prefer if I only had to drag the finger 30-50 % of the screen just like most other apps I use with this function. (I use a iPhone 6S).
-
Make it easier to store songs locally. It’s fairly easy as it is now but could be easier. An option to download all songs would be great. Or download X Gb of data.
-
Allow sharing of playlists between users.
-
Show more than ten tracks on “up next”. I asked for this a while back and was told the next update would have this feature but it didn’t.
-
I wish the song in “up next” have those three-dots-option as the songs in “back to” have. This is, for me, a very odd decision to not include those options for upcoming songs. I want to be able to rate upcoming songs and go to the album and choose other songs to add etc etc etc.
-
I know, I’m spamming a bit. This feature is quite ridiculous to ask for since it’s such a minor annoyance but since I’m on a roll I’ll mention it anyway. The time I must press on a song before I can rearrange the order in upcoming songs and playlists are just a tad bit to long if you ask me. I thought I would get used to it but time and time again I will try to slide the song before it is possible. Again, this is a silly thing to bring up but you know… First world problems and all that.
Questions:
If I let Plexamp use my phones movement sensors to decide if I’m driving or not, does this affect the battery life? It’s a neat feature but I’ve decided to stick with my almost worthless battery until iPhone 13 so I need every battery saving option available.
What is the difference between the bitrate I set in “cellular” under “music quality” and the bitrate I set in “conversion bitrate” under “advanced”. In my uneducated eyes it seems like two options that does almost the same thing. If I set conversion bitrate to 128 then it trumps whatever bitrate I choose in music quality, unless I choose maximum then the files will be played as .flac.
Bugs:
Once or twice during each hour of listening the current song will stop abruptly a second or so before it should end. I have tried to replicate it but failed and I have double looked that the songs does not end that way. So I guess it’s something with plex or plexamp.
I have two “music” libraries in plex. One for music and one for audiobooks. In plexamp I have choosen to only show the music library and yet when I use the search function my audiobooks will show up. Not the end of the world but still a bit annoying from time to time.
Sometimes, most often when I have music playing and then unlocks my phone directly to plexamp the audio stops but the song keeps playing according to the ui. This might be an issue with Apple or Sennheiser because I have noticed it once or twice in other apps as well but it happens way more often with plexamp so I’ll mention it just in case. My headphones are Momentum wireless 3.
