Wonder how Plex justified making it free. Baked-in analytics?

They might be losing free users to Jellyfin, Emby, etc?

Probably. Jellyfin also has a music version of the app similar to plex amp.

Honestly I have been considering making the switch.

I didn't know Jellyfin had a music version. Is it not on Play Store?

Edit: Oh, I found it on F-droid. It's called Boum. It is on Play Store too it just doesn't show up when you search for jellyfin.

One of them is Finamp. I think there might be more. The normal players (the official one and Findroid) also play music just fine FWIW.
