So i just saw the post here about harmonoid. Very good looking app, but it’s only for a local music library.

I have mounted the iscsi disk that i also use for my plex library so i could just use harmonoid to play my plex music.

But that’s not what i want. I want to be able to use the playlists i make on plex, use the files for which i made custom metadata etc.

I know the plexamp app is available on linux. But i see that it’s basically just the android app ported to linux and the whole UI is absolute garbage for a desktop imho.

So does someone know a good open-source desktop music player that syncs with my plex library and playlists? I really like symfonium on my android phone for it’s customizations but it’s not available on linux…but something like that? Or something like harmonoid but with plex support?

Thanks !

      But as i said, i don’t like that fact that the linux desktop app is basically just the ported android app. The user interface is clearly made with a touchscreen in mind.

        Same on windows, it’s weird at first but you get used to it. Probably the best option if you must go through the Plex server.

        Plexamp works fine with a mouse for me. Kinda reminds me of winamp in some ways. How long did you try using it for? Yes it’d just the android app ported but I feel like thats a good thing for it.

    I know where you’re coming from. I have direct access to my music at home and use Strawberry to play them.

    Plex (as far as I know) is only “free as in beer,” so i doubt you’re going to have any success finding a 3rd party music player. I have the Linux app for when I’m away and don’t want to use my phone but the tiny, Android-sized Plexamp app on my desktop is out of place, and has its own eq, compression, etc.
