      Sadly, you have to. Plex wants a subscription if you want to stream outside of your home network now

        I could be wrong, but I don’t believe that’s correct. Their page that has the latest updates around the Plex pass and remote pass still has music streaming under the free tier:

      Ah neat, it used to require PlexPass to use the app at all. Now it only requires PlexPass for most of the app, including some pretty basic features like downloads.

      Still, it is nice that there’s some level of “free trial” for it.

      To be clear I love PlexAmp and use it as my main audio player, but I’ve paid for a plex lifetime pass.

        The point of a streaming music service is to stream, not download.

        It’s not a “free trial”. It’s free with paid features.

        I also have a lifetime Plex Pass and don’t really use any of the paid features of Plexamp despite using Plexamp a lot.
