How are you using Plexamp? Do you DL albums and stream it from there as a spotify-ish alternative?
Jellyfin uses AAC, which then spins my homelab fans when I try to encode anything. With opus the fans stay silent.
Need a Spotify connect like thing for PlexAMP so it works in car at full quality. I won't hold my breath. Maybe the Plex web app works
I admittedly have a car with lots of road sound, so maybe I'm not the target audience for lossless car audio.
We use plexamp with Android Auto, and with the usual car sound system 128 kbps opus is transparent. You can stream with the original flac quality of course, but I've found it to be way too much in our trips.
Streaming music with plexamp has never been an issue for us. It just works.
It would be silly to burn that energy just because it's the status quo?
I mean, I would prefer to avoid those stalls but still

If I had CarPlay I'd be happy car-wise. But Spotify/Tidal Connect means all of your devices become remotes. They all behave as if they're the player and have the ability to change where the output goes. It's really slick.
