About

TuneFalls

Features
Read full description

TuneFalls turns your Plex music library into a radio that learns what you love. Point it at your Plex server and it builds a dial of stations from your library's own tags — genres, moods, decades and activities — each one a crate of records ready to play. Thumb tracks up or down and every station tunes itself to your taste. • Stations built from YOUR library — no subscription catalogue, no gaps • The mood pad: drag between melancholy and uplifting, calm and intense, and tune a station to the moment • Energy arcs that wind a session down or warm it up over the hour • Lossless playback — FLAC and ALAC stream untouched from your own server • Radio that learns: thumbs teach each station what belongs • Your plays and stats, kept on your device • Background audio with full lock-screen controls TuneFalls needs a Plex Media Server with a music library. Sign in with Plex, pick your server, press play.
