We even forced ourselves to limit the design to a single simple window,” explained Plex Labs. “Literally the only requirement we had was ‘small’ Plex has plenty of bigger apps already, but nothing that sits unobtrusively on a desktop, beguiling and delighting.

The idea gestated and ended up forming the Plexamp, which has been designed to be a small and unobtrusive music player that makes use of Plex’s client-server systems to play a Plex user’s entire music library from anywhere in the world. Plex has released its take on the classic Winamp music player, bringing the Plexamp app for Windows 10 and macOS desktops.ĭrawing inspiration from the classic Winamp music player which was well-loved for its ability to play a plethora of music formats, Plex claims the Plexamp will play “any music format you could dream of throwing at it”.Īccording to Plex’s co-founder and chief technology officer Elan Feingold, Plexamp is the fruit of a passion project by Plex Labs, the company’s experimental tech arm, noting “it all started over a beer” while pondering what a 2017 music player might look like.
