However I’ve been waiting for over a year for PlexAmp to go free and they won’t let it out.

New features get released to PlexPass first and eventually get released to the free tier when they’re tested and mature. They have a desktop and mobile app called PlexAmp that apparently does the rest, but it is part of the stuff that comes with a “PlexPass” subscription, which is a certain amount of money every month, or $130-something for a “lifetime” license. Plex is free for movies and has a music library function, but the free part only works on smart TVs and in web-based players. If you happen across one please let me know, and I will do the same for you. I’m ready for a feature-complete drop-in iTunes (not Music.app) replacement that’s free, allows the library to be stored on a NAS and accessed on multiple computers at once, and will sync to iDevices including your old iPods and has a Roku app. 0 release of a macos major version is always a little shaky.

Were they messing with Music.app in Big Sur too? If not maybe this will get fixed in 12.1 or 12.2. I had so much work to do the last couple years I didn’t get a chance to even use Big Sur. Unfortunately that’s only going to support computers and “smart” devices like phones and Roku TVs (and the iPod Touch, I guess, if you have one of those). I’ve long wanted to move to Plex and Plexamp myself, but it’s not free and I’m stretched thin post-covid and with the economy nose-diving. I just went to Monterey from Catalina and I haven’t opened Music.app yet (I’ve been seeing if all my work-critical apps work first before I commit to it and just using my phone, and I know once a new version of macos opens your Music library the first time there’s no going back). I hate it but at least now it's actually showing the number of photos its sent over.

The other issue now is that randomly it will do a slow sync even over a fast cable to an iPad Pro and take maybe an hour. Its more like 2 minutes along with resyncing a few hundred pics/songs but I have learned to live with it. I can’t remember when they partially fixed it but at some point during late Catalina/Early Big Sur one of the updates fixed the 5+ hours sync issue.Īdding a single photo and syncing still doesn’t take 10 seconds like it used to.

Then in Late 2019 they released Mac OS Catalina which dropped support for 32 bits apps… iTunes being one of them so that wasn’t an option so back to 5+ hours for a single sync. Everything synced correctly and in seconds. The only solution at the time was luckily I had an old copy of iTunes in my Time Machine backup so pulled that down and used it. Even without adding any new music, if I pressed sync it would randomly re-sync anywhere between 0 and 500 songs that are already on my phone. Then it cut it down to about an hour but that’s a 30gb folder being created just to send a single photo over. The worst part is for 99% of that time it would say “reading photo library” so you never knew if it was doing anythingĪfter a while I realised its actually quicker to delete the iPod photo cache folder and let it recreate it. Was the same even if I didn’t add a new photo.Īnd even without adding a photo, it would still re-sync a few hundred photos each time.

Then came the update (was 10.14.3 or 10.14.4) which broke it and pressing sync with just 1 additional photo would take 5+ hours. I have over 10k photos and if I added one more to a folder and pressed sync that photo would be on my device within seconds. So pre Feb 2019 (sorry, not 2020) it all worked fine.
