I’ve been using Plex to manage my media library, and it’s amazing. It organizes movies, TV shows, music, and photos seamlessly, and streams them to all my devices. Compared to other media servers, Plex stands out with its user-friendly interface and robust streaming capabilities. It’s perfect for enjoying your media collection anywhere. Highly recommend for anyone looking to create a personal media hub!
I use this for all my media. But the company's lack of focus on my use case has led me to explore other options
Plex has reliably hosted my home media streaming needs for 5+ years - I can't go without it. My only concern is the company's push towards its own media library/hosted streaming. Although its a nice service to have, I hope this direction won't limit future innovations for home media streaming users like myself.

Review of Plexamp
I've been using this for about a month now, and I just can't deal with it anymore. Back to that clunky old Winamp I go!
The idea of playing music from plex is great, but the interface is just so unintuitive. I'm stuck right now playing an album and can't for the life of me figure out how to get back to the playlist selection. This is a desktop application, the focus should not be on minamlism! And if it was, where's my "minimise to system tray" option? Why does it always have to be open?
Also, genre-based playlists would be great. At the moment all I can really do is play an album, or use their "Entire Library" and "Time Travel" built-in playlists... Ideally it would generate some spotify-like playlists for me.
