I'm not finding a lot of recent information or discussion about this, and figured I might as well see if anyone here has a clear understanding of what's going to happen when iTunes is dumped and replaced by Plex. As far as I can tell, they're saying that a monthly subscription is going to be required to let you sync your music from a library resident on your desktop/laptop and a mobile device; I know that a lot of people have shifted to using subscription services to listen to music
anyhow, but having a large collections of legally-owned music not available through those services (classical, J-pop, etc...), the idea of having to pay them on a monthly basis just to be able to listen to music that I own on my iTouch (I know...way behind the times) is...well...crazy.
Am I understanding this right? If you pay for one month, sync your device, and then cancel the subscription, will the Plex app actually lock itself on your mobile device so you can't listen to anything until you start paying again? I can't imagine how such a thing would work otherwise. I know there're other services of a more continuous nature only available with a subscription, but the syncing is the only thing I have even the slightest interest in, and isn't something I need to actually
do very often.
So...yeah, just wondering if anyone has a better idea of how this whole thing is going to work. I'm sure I could get better information from the source...if they'd ever actually reply...so I'm casting a slightly wider net. Thanx!
