Finding the ideal music streaming app for the road can be a challenge, especially with major platforms competing for space on vehicle dashboards. A recent month-long test evaluated mainstream giants Spotify and YouTube Music alongside Plexamp to see how they perform on Android Auto.
Over the testing period, the self-hosted solution managed to take the lead against its commercial rivals. While mainstream services offer extensive cloud libraries, Plexamp caters to listeners who prefer utilizing their own hosted music collections, offering an alternative approach to in-car entertainment.
The findings highlight that dedicated, self-hosted media apps can provide a compelling user experience that rivals or even surpasses industry standards on connected car platforms.
