    I’m guessing Symfonium doesn’t have custom DJ modes and automatic music mixes based on your local library and past listening habits? Their website doesn’t mention.

    The DJ modes and track/album radio and artist mixes are what sold me on Plexamp.

      Don’t know what DJ modes are but it has automatic mixes. Just try it I guess.

        Probably can’t, I’m on iOS; it looks to be Android only. Airplay is also a fairly important feature for me, since Airplay and DLNA are the main ways I send my music to devices.

        Re: DJ modes, Plex does a full sonic analysis (ala Musicbrainz) of your music and uses this for mixes and DJs, for doing things like adding sonically similar songs into your set list or doing a sonic adventure every few tracks. It also uses metadata for stuff like playing tracks from the same artist, or same era (e.g 1990s).

        The features make for very dynamic automatic playlists that work well and flow smoothly both within and between different genres.
