The problem is that PlexAmp is literally the killer feature of Plex. Literally no open source software comes close. It would be great if it did, and I would switch, but it’s the only app that even remotely competes with Spotify for me for that reason.

Never used PlexAmp but I'm happy with FinAmp

FWIW, for music in my car and on my phone, I only used Plex and use Jellyfin as a failover. I just use Pi Music Player and I keep my whole MP3 collection on a memory chip, so I don't have to be online at all. Whenever I pull the chip out of my phone and put it into my laptop to copy and remove my photos (cloud backup? no thanks) I update the mp3 folder.

Finamp isn’t there yet but it is closing the gap to Plexamp.
