In effect, we have our own private Tidal or Qobuz!įrom its settings menu, Plexamp lets us optionally drop the streaming quality from lossless to (OPUS codec) lossy for on-the-fly server-side transcoding - our choice of bitrate up to 320kbps. Now PLEX/Plexamp behaves more like Spotify!
With PLEX and Plexamp permanently joined via an encrypted Internet connection, our hard drive’s contents are available to us anywhere, all of the time. Last week’s short film about PLEX and Plexamp showed how we can turn a multi-TB library of FLAC files into a personal/private streaming service:ġ) Connect the hard-drive to a computer and install PLEX for it to scan the hard drive’s contents, index the library and overlay a Roon-like layer of metadata: album info, cover art, artist bios, photos etc.Ģ) To stream any album losslessly from PLEX over the Internet to our smartphone we need to install Plexamp (Android, iOS) - an app that usefully preserves PLEX’s metadata layer.
