I’m using Plexamp everyday, half of the time listening to albums, half time to listen to playlists.
So, I’m often thinking what could help us to have an even better use of this.
Within a playlist:
Filter by Track Name
Filter by Recently added
Search Playlists
Allow Search inside the Playlists Page and Shared Playlists
Because : when using the Search page, Playlists often are at the bottom of the search page.
That means, closing the keyborad > swiping to the bottom of the page > then it only shows the 3 firsts results so > another clic to develop the list
Allow Managed Users and Users to find the Shared Playlists in their Search Page
Or, as my point two was, allow Search inside the Shared Playlists
Add Tags to Playlists
Having the possibility to add tags to a playlist would be a very good way to discover and rediscover playlists. As an exemple, playlists like Energy Rock, Guilty Pleasure, Flashback or Dance Hits could be all tagged with Party or Good Time.
For now they only appears if we are using a word from their titles that is very limitating the possibilty to see them.
Grant Access to Playlists:
Allow us to select more than one playlist at once to Grant Access to one managed users.
This is a very tedious work to do share a number of playlists, having to go back, choose it and choose the managed user again and again.
If not possible on Plexamp, maybe allow us to do it from the server side?
Smart Filter to mix Playlists:
Allow a playlist to be added / combine to another playlist
Because : there is plenty of ways to make playlists like Energy Rock, Energy Latin, Energy Pop etc… that could be combine in one All Energy playlist. Same for Workout Metal, Workout Hip Hop etc…
Shared Playlists:
add Grid View
Allow us to choose how to sort those playlists, at least by alphabetical order. For now you can only see them on list view and the order is define by when the playlists was shared, that is really messy
Add to Playlist
Add the possibility to Search a playlist within the pop up window when you want to add a track to a playlist. (Screenshot below) because for now the only way to find a playlist there is to scroll all over the list
Add the possibility to Delete playlists from the Search page
Using the Search option to find and play a playlist is natural, but it is not possible to find and Delete. That would be a great feature to add this possibility in the pop-up menu
Of course, Plexamp is great as it is, but I’m sure those suggestions could give us, playlists users a better experience
Thank you
Do you think that Users (not Managed Users) with whom we share the music via the free Plexamp version will be able to see also the Shared Playlist ?
For now it doesn’t seems possible
In fact this is not a premium feature, there is no possibilty to share music playlists to users. Premium or not, they don’t appear in the choice, because only managed users appear.
Add Tags to Playlists

I’d definitely appreciate being able to create smart playlists based on other playlists, i.e “Track in/not in playlist”. Then you could for example have a playlist for Christmas songs and exclude them from other playlists
@elan , those are new ideas for the shared playlists
Shared Playlists:
add Grid View
Allow us to choose how to sort those playlists, at least by alphabetical order. For now you can only see them on list view and the order is define by when the playlists was shared, that is really messy
Something I would like to see in playlists/smart playlists , more for TV, is the ability to order by episode number. I have a couple playlist of favorite shows that span from the early 80s to current. and I would rather see all season 1 episode 1 played of each show regardless of the show/episode year, then season 1 episode 2 of each and so forth. If it’s possible short of manually editing the air date of each, I haven’t found it.
@aubrey.wodonga here is another feature that would be great to add for a better Playlists management
Add to Playlist
Add the possibility to Search a playlist within the pop up window when you want to add a track to a playlist. (Screenshot below) because for now tye only way to find a playlist there is to scroll all over the list
Add the possibility to Delete playlists from the Search page
