Wonder how Plex justified making it free. Baked-in analytics?
They might be losing free users to Jellyfin, Emby, etc?
Probably. Jellyfin also has a music version of the app similar to plex amp.
Honestly I have been considering making the switch.
I didn't know Jellyfin had a music version. Is it not on Play Store?
Edit: Oh, I found it on F-droid. It's called Boum. It is on Play Store too it just doesn't show up when you search for jellyfin.
I think it’s called finamp

One of them is Finamp. I think there might be more. The normal players (the official one and Findroid) also play music just fine FWIW.
Open source
Paid
There's one called fintunes too.
Put some of the nice features behind a paywall
