Plex this week an**unced changes to its media software that will move the service beyond its video roots. Following updates that added online movie trailers and a recommendation engine, the next version of
Plex will bring several new
Music Features that
Plex Chief Product ******r Scott Olechowski says will challenge
iTunes in the
Music department.
As reported by
Gigaom and
PCMag,
Plex users will be able to import their existing
iTunes libraries, including playlists, ratings, and smart playlists, into the
Plex app using a new
One-Click import feature.
Plex is partnering with
Music database company Grace**te to add
Music file recognition and tagging to simplify the organization of this newly imported media.
One a user's
Music is imported, the service will leverage Grace**te's extensive database to provide Genius-like
Music recommendations based on a user's personal
Music collection. Users also will be able to create station-based playlists from a song's selected characteristics such as genre, tempo, or mood.
Plex also is working with Vevo to roll out a premium feature that will match
Music videos with the songs that are in a user's
Music library. These Vevo videos will be available to watch without advertisements by
Plex Pass subscribers.
Plex hopes this new
Music video option will drive additional users to sign up for its subscription service, which generates about 80 percent of the company's revenue.
The next version of
Plex is expected to debut in the coming weeks. Beyond this version, other possible future
Music Features may include
Music downloads and integration with a
Music subscription streaming service.
