The app itself has been completely redone, as well - rewritten from scratch, in fact. While the original app ran on Mac or Windows, the new release works across five platforms, now including iOS, Android and Linux. It also offered visualizations to accompany your music that pulled from the album art. The app let you use media keys for playing, pausing and skipping tracks and it worked offline when the Plex server ran on your laptop. The goal with the original Plexamp was to offer a small desktop player that could handle any music format. The project, like others from Plex Labs, was built by Plex employees in their spare time. In December 2017, Plex introduced its own music player, whose name Plexamp was a nod to the Winamp player it aimed to replace. The first of the new apps, Plexamp, is actually a revamp of the first Plex Labs project released. The projects are meant to appeal largely to Plex power users who take full advantage of Plex’s software suite, which has grown over time from being only a home media solution to a one-stop shop for everything from live TV to streaming audio. One is an updated take on the classic Winamp player it calls Plexamp, and another is a dedicated app for Plex server administration. Media software maker Plex has released two new projects today from its internal R&D group, Plex Labs.
