Plex releases Winamp-like music player for macOS

Plexamp is a small music player for your Mac that provides access to your entire music library.

This is Plexamp

Plex is known for its media player, which allows you to play videos on different devices within the same WiFi network. The company has now also released a music player called Plexamp. Not only in name but also as program itself, it is very similar to Winamp, the popular classical music player that was released almost twenty years ago.

Plexamp was created by a few employees under the banner of ‘Plex Labs’, a division within the company that works on smaller passion projects. It provides a small but nice music player for songs you have on your computer.

Small app

According to the creators, Plexamp is the smallest player the company has ever made, but “with a lot of features.” The app is available for macOS (and Windows) and supports all audio formats. Plexamp can also be used as a remote control for other Plex apps and works offline.

You probably haven’t seen so-called ‘visualizers’ for a long time, but with Plexamp they return. If you listen to music, you can set what kind of visual effects you want to see. If you just want to show the album cover, the colors around it will be adjusted.

For those with a local music library

Plexamp also offers smart functions for while listening. This way, different volumes of songs are equalized, so that you don’t suddenly find louder or softer sound. There are also ‘smart transitions’, with which the optimal time between numbers is calculated. According to the makers, the perfect transitions are made.

Plex’s music player is a nice little player, but only useful for those with a large local music library. The player itself offers Winamp nostalgia, with modern features and a good look. For those who have long since switched to a streaming service like Spotify or Apple Music, Plexamp won’t add much.
