Yeah it’s awesome, you get to spend all of your time chasing stupid issues like it picking the dumbest artist name possible and using it for 30 albums because one artist was on two of those albums, or deciding that 50% of your artists should be Lastname, Firstname but the other 50% should be Firstname Lastname. Then half the time it will use its own metadata for cover art and the other half it’ll use metadata in the files. Doesn’t matter how meticulous you are with your music tags an whether or not you have musicbrainz’d all of them to be consistent, it still finds a way to screw things up pretty much reliably.
But it’s all worth it because PlexAmp is surprisingly good once you’ve done the legwork and fixed all the stupid shit and I would much rather buy music directly and self-host my own music streaming system than pay spotify monthly.
