Hi folks,
Looking to give Symfonium a go due to some frustrations with Plexamp and was hoping to hear some tips and tricks from those that were heavy Plexamp users and how they use Symfonium. Especially keen to hear about features that you prefer in Symfonium over Plexamp and any tips to assuage my fears below.
Things I can already see are better:
- Android Auto interface.
- The fact that there’s actually an AndroidTV client in active development.
Few specific bits that I feel like I’ll miss from Plexamp:
- The “On this Day” smart playlist/tile for the homescreen. This has been a gamechanger that allows me to revisit albums on their anniversary.
- Some smart playlist functionality, especially around relative dates.
- Sweet fades - though it looks like this is already in the works/testing.
- Plexamp’s DJ system - especially DJ Stretch. That DJ comes in clutch when shuffling my library.
- I have multiple headless Plexamp devices around my house for streaming music to. It’s nice that Symfonium can push this to these players, however it still uses its own playlist rather than pushing the whole playlist to the Plexamp client.
- A desktop client.
- Being able to push/pull my current playlist to/from different devices.
