The full listening lounge — search, browse, and build playlists, just for you.
The full listening lounge — search, browse, and build playlists, just for you.
Built for people who actually want to browse and queue music, not just hit shuffle.
Search by artist, album, track, or playlist with an accelerated fast path over your library for near-instant results.
Browse by feel instead of scrolling an alphabetical list — genre-tag buckets surface what fits the moment.
Build native playlists with drag-to-reorder, or import and sync playlists straight from Plex.
Play, pause, skip, seek, and a real up-next queue — not a single-track player with no context.
Start a shared listening session — guests join with a code and queue tracks together in real time.
Send a time-limited link to a single album, playlist, or artist. No login, no app install for the recipient.
Both are free and self-hosted. Player is the full listening app; Jukebox is the lightweight Room/Share-only sibling.

Yes — MusicLounge Player connects to your own Plex Media Server's music library. Your Plex token stays on your server; it's never exposed to any browser.
Yes. It's self-hosted — you run it on your own hardware (NAS, VPS, home server) and there's no subscription.
No. Guests join a Room with a code, or open a Share link directly — no login and no app install required on their end.
Player covers the same everyday-listening ground — search, playlists, queue, mood-based browsing — while adding Room and Share modes for listening with other people, which Plexamp doesn't offer.
Self-hosted, open source, running on your own Plex library in minutes.
