In a limited period offer, Plexamp will offer these features for free for the next three months. Plex is also rolling out some features that will be part of its Plex Pass premium music package. There are also features like Gapless Playback, soft transitions, album art key colour extracting, and a wide range of visualisers. This gives additional functionality to some power users. The media player will be based on Music Player Daemon (MPD), an open-source audio player.īesides support for standard media keys, it offers a global activation hotkey much like Spotlight on macOS (cmd+shift+space). Plex has made use of a combination of platforms including Electron, React, MobX, and ES7 to develop Plexamp. It has Companion support that offers remote control for other Plex players and can be remote controlled itself. The app will have support for all music formats. The Plexamp app requires macOS 10.9 or above or Windows 7 or newer for download.


The Plexamp app runs on both macOS and Windows and works like a native app offering support for media keys (skipping tracks and play/ pause toggle) and notifications. Plex claims that the challenge to combine Plex and Winamp was with the aim to create a "small" app. So while Winamp was mostly limited to Windows and playing local or networked files, Plex itself is a client/ server model that has a metadata rich library and gives you access to your personalised music collection anywhere in the world. Plexamp takes inspiration from Winamp to create a nostalgia-filled media player that offers extensive functionality with a barebones UI.Įlan Feingold, CTO and Co-Founder at Plex, said Plexamp was an attempt to combine music with Plex, and kept three things in mind "small, powerful, beautiful." Winamp became its inspiration, considered by the Plex team to be "the most classic and beloved small audio player". Popular media player platform Plex on Monday announced the launch of the Plexamp music player for macOS and Windows, one of the first projects to come out of Plex Labs, the company's experimental testing initiative.
