Comment on In 2025, Apple still makes it hard to play your own MP3s, so I wrote my own app

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.

I use a good chunk of the paid PlexAmp features, although I agree they are mostly just extras.
However, Downloads is a must-have IMO. I often listen to music while traveling, e.g. on a plane or train or on a road trip, and cell service is unreliable in those situations.
