Plexamp

Designed with Media Plex Server users in mind, Plexamp is a straightforward audio player that proposes a new approach to your music collection, what with the advanced search and discover features it puts at your disposal.

Before anything else, it is worth pointing out that, being a Plex client, the application obviously requires a valid Plex Media Server account in order to start exploring your music library even in offline scenarios.

Sporting a lightweight user interface, Plexamp comes up with limited playback controls. Nevertheless, it does enable you to resize it, with options such as “Nihilist,” “Hipster,” “Regular,” and “Roo” being available for you to try out. Still, we have noticed that, when in playlist mode, you are actually unable to click the first two tracks. That is because, with no top bar, you need to click this area in order to drag the window.

In any case, you may want to know that, once you are able to browse your music library in Plexamp, you can start enjoying one of the features its developers are most proud of. We are referring to its search and discover tools that allow you to get results depending on what you listen to most often.

As for the available playback controls, it is worth pointing out that you can play, pause, skip, or shuffle songs. On the other hand, you cannot adjust the volume, so you will need to resort to your system volume controls for that.

Anyway, the app compensates for this by offering support for any audio file format. Aside from that, a visualizer is integrated so that it complements your audio experience and puts considerable emphasis on matching the album art feel.

For a plus of convenience, hotkeys can be used, which means your interaction with the audio player should be hassle-free.

On an ending note, Plexamp is a tiny app that works as a Plex Media Server companion that helps you fully enjoy your music library. The program is all about minimalism and should be handled pretty easily, so you may want to give it a shot.
