Plex has not yet committed to making a music app available on all platforms once they yank it out of the main app. I think we all have our fingers crossed.
I am not excited about the social/discovery stuff either – but to be fair, Plex has recently put in a lot of work on the personal media front. Every server release has fixes for library management, and they have even improved hardware accelerated tone mapping. Aren’t they also moving towards x265 transcoding support?
Based on what is actually in recent releases, I’m not worried about the future of personal media on Plex in general. I think if they were abandoning personal media they would have stopped making those enhancements a year ago.
I am very worried about some of the details, specifically if I’ll be able to play Plex music on my Android TV in the future. If their answer is “idk just cast it from plexamp on ur phone” then I would be pretty upset. (It’s the same question for photos, though that isn’t a feature I personally care about.)
For now I am giving the benefit of the doubt but I sure would like them to address this issue soon.
