Plexamp is compatible with 'just about any music format you could dream of,' works in offline mode and is remote controllable / can be used to remote control other Plex players. It works like a native media app meaning media keys for tasks like skipping tracks and pausing are all functional. Plexamp is a macOS and Windows app that pulls music from your existing Plex music library and presents it in a neat desktop interface. Its creators love music and they love Plex so merging the two only seemed natural.

The idea for Plexamp started over a beer and quickly blossomed into a project that was worked on by a handful of people at Plex in their spare time. The first project to emerge from Plex Labs is Plexamp, a lightweight music player inspired by arguably the greatest music playing software of all time - Winamp. The initiative is also tasked with sharing technical write-ups on Medium but that's a discussion for a different day. Plex this week launched Plex Labs, a new section of the company focused on sharing internal passion projects (think Netflix Hack Day) and community projects.
