I use Plexamp with a lifetime Plex Pass subscription and love it. I mostly use it steam and keep some sonic analysis based radio stations downloaded for offline use.
I stopped using Plex when I needed an online account to access my local instance.
I use Plex with Plexamp and love it other than the forced online account, which is minor enough in my opinion that it's been hard to justify looking for an alternative. What did you move to?
I moved to Emby, then to Jellyfin. Also, the other thing that bothered me was that with Plex I noticed I had an online account where I could access all my files. In other words, Plex was using my local data, which was the straw.
Yes there's something particularly sketchy about an app that makes those kind of anti-user corporate decisions when it owes its popularity to the piracy community
That's the danger of trusting a for profit company, rather than the open source community.
