Although I have used Mediamonkey several years to order my music, Plexamp (plex) is a very complete app to play music from any device, plus it has a system of recommendations similar to Spotify, artist radios, similar music ...
I have seen that in MM5 there is an integration with Spotify and I would like to suggest an addon for Plex.
The point of mediamonkey is to organize your local music, the spotify addon is fine to discover new playlists and sync them with your local files, but I think it makes a lot of sense an addon for Plex because the matches will be much better, since they are the same files, the same metadata...
With the Plex addon you don't depend on monthly Spotify costs and have your music perfectly sorted thanks to mediamonkey. I would love to do everything from mediamonkey and mediamonkey for android, but I think currently Plexamp is more enjoyable to use, besides the smart recommendations.

Re: Plex API Sync
I doubt that Plex has any of this data, and instead I assume that Plex sources this data elsewhere. Last.fm may be the source they use.

Re: Plex API Sync
I think they pull them from last.fm and allmusic.com.
Then for the suggestions they also use the personal ratings and reproductions.

Re: Plex API Sync
I'm not super familiar with Plex - Is Plex a piece of server software that you run on your own hardware? i.e., do you have your media stored on Plex on your own personal server, or is it something based on cloud servers?javiavid wrote: ↑Sun May 09, 2021 4:46 am With the Plex addon you don't depend on monthly Spotify costs and have your music perfectly sorted thanks to mediamonkey.

I uploaded many addons to MM's addon page, but not all of those were created by me. "By drakinite, Submitted by drakinite" means I made it on my own time. "By Ventis Media, Inc., Submitted by drakinite" means it may have been made by me or another MediaMonkey developer, so instead of crediting/thanking me, please thank the team. You can still ask me for support on any of our addons.
Re: Plex API Sync
It's like Netflix/Spotify of your own media and the data resides locally. You can though, access your media from outside your home and there are Apps on nearly every platform.

Re: Plex API Sync
I had a look at Plexamp, but after installing it, I was informed that I'll need a Plex Pass to proceed.
Re: Plex API Sync
And you'll need to run a Plex Server as well.

Re: Plex API Sync
Now access to Plexamp is free, it has some payment options, but they are minimal things.

Re: Plex API Sync
Since my last reply on this thread, I've actually set up my own Plex server on my NAS, so I'm more familiar with how Plex works.
If you can set up some kind of file syncing between your PC and your server (for example: Nextcloud or MediaMonkeyServer), you could potentially add that synced folder as a library location on Plex, thereby giving Plex access to your music library.
