Plexamp sonic analysis Pc#

It’s showing as processing but doesn’t get to 954 and it’s been a few days now. These times I’ve turned off the scanning, restarted plex server and it seems to have sorted itselfīut now I’m down to 955 albums left it’s not doing any more. I turned on sonic analysis a week ago but unfortunately it’s got stuck a few times and I’ve only found out a couple of days later. If I were using one of LMS or the various Volumio type variants, switching to Plexamp would be a complete no-brainer.I’ve got my entire lifetime of music in plex so to me it’s quite a lot, 3000 albums, most ripped from cd in ALAC back from using iTunes and iPods It's early days, it's not Roon (nor will it ever be), but it's promising and it delivers. I thoroughly enjoyed my listening this weekend.Īs a Roon lifer I'll stick with Roon when I'm in the mood to explore my library and sit down to albums, but when I'm just in the mood to have music of a certain style, feel and mood wash over me Plexamp will be my goto DJ. Overall, what Super Sonic enables is its most compelling feature - a built-in DJ that really knows his/her shit and can surface real nuggets in your collection you've long forgotten about or not thought of playing.

The app on a Linux desktop is woeful (I'm guessing it'd be no different on Windows/MAC) - basically an emulated smartphone interface, so I'd definitely use it on smartphone/tablet rather than PC

UI - not bad, but feels rather primitive compared with Roon and I think at this stage its biggest negative (for me).

I used it all weekend, and this is one area I'd say it beats Roon's Valence hands down - reason being it actually knows something about the acoustic properties of the music in your collection, so its choices are based on that rather than people who like this typically like that etc.

For anyone that's enjoyed MusicIP in years past (or still does in the form of Spicefly Sugarcube on LMS) this is a real boon to listening when you don't want to think about what to listen to next. Super Sonic is a fantastic feature that enables Plexamp to create perpetual radio from your music library based on a seed song, album, artist etc.One could do the same in Roon with Tags & Bookmarks, but I think Plex are onto something here, and then coupled with Super Sonic I feel it's really got an upper handin this dept. It auto generates some interesting 'radio' stations / views of your music library allowing easy access into cross sections of your library which can also be used to kick off radio sessions etc.It auto fetches artist pictures, album artwork etc (and filled blanks where Roon didn't).It clearly uses TiVo () genre, style & mood metadata to enable browsing/exploration of your music, showing related artists, similar artists etc.Library ingestion is quick and pretty accurate (and you have the choice of leveraging or ignoring file based metadata).

supports Tidal integration, Chromecast, AirPlay & probably a host of other protocols (I only tried Chromecast using it as a transport).

enables you to play your music in and outside of your home - basically if you can access your home network you can play your music.

Here's a quick synopsis of my experience: I let it ingest and analyse a portion (about 500 albums) of my music collection and went about using it as my front-end for listening on the weekend. Having recently become aware of Plexamp, and in particular its Super Sonic audio analysis engine I purchased a lifetime Plex Pass on the weekend (available for $89.99 USD through 23:59 UTC on Novemfor those interested).
