Tidal Replacement (self.plex)

Now that tidal integration is dead, a good option I've used before is livexone (formerly slacker). While i loved having everything in one place, I prefer not having to buy/rip or download the huge catalogs available elsewhere. And now that music seems to be going away in plex clients in the roadmap as well, i decided to find another solution sooner.

The ui isnt the best, but is far from the worst. How I use it:

  • star an artist to add them to your list of artists
  • then immediately also add that artist to each custom station you want them to be a part of
  • while playing your custom stations, use the dot menu to fine tune how much outside of the station can be pulled in. This, imo, is live's killer feature. Similar music is based on the whole list of artists in the station, not just a single artist.
  • grow your artists and playlists by browsing related.

In addition to this, livex also has genres, curated lists, new music lists, and podcasts.

It also has apps that do not suck on android auto and android tv.

I'm already not missing plexamp + tidal, so I wanted to share.

Have you not downloaded PlexAmp? It’s the music streaming app. That’s why it’s being written out of the main app. PlexAmp is awesome.
