Posts must be related to Plex and Plex-related products, apps. etc. Try to keep comments relevant to the parent comment and to the post.
Rule 4 - Keep discussions of "media aqcuistion" limited to means and methods only.
Discussions regarding media acquisition should be limited to the "how" not the "what", as this is not the place to discuss piracy of specific media. There are other communities for that, and we don't want to get this community defederated from instances where it's a forbidden topic. Posts/comments discussing specific acts of piracy ("How do I find X show?" or "Where can I download Y film?")will be removed. For further clarification see this post

I know people love them some Plexamp and I totally agree that it’s a very well designed app. However, music is just a nice to have thing for me. Between free options and good inexpensive paid options music isn’t as big of a need as tv/movies for me and my users.
I have a decent amount of music on my server and my users have listened to exactly 0 songs. Not sure if Plexamp would change that.
I actually have YouTube Premium via Turkish pricing & Spotify ReVanced, so it's not the access to the songs, its the songs those applications choose to play for me.
Both Spotify & YouTube Premium rarely give me songs from major bands anymore. Radio/Autoplay is mostly filled with cheaper indie artists and not necessarily the good ones.
Since self-hosting and reaching around 700 albums, My autoplay radio's are significantly higher quality, I'm expecting that to only get better as I rediscover more artists.
There's a subscription fee to use the app they developed, Plexamp. It offers features that their other apps don't. However, access to your Plex server is free. Those users can use the free Plex app or the web interface. If they don't want to pay the subscription, they can stick with Spotify. If your library is so limited, maybe it's better they do? Or, maybe they could also access other Plex servers which have a less limited selection?
