Yesterday, Plex announced some huge additions and changes to the music side of your media server. These were so important/awesome that I had to get this out to you in case you hadn't seen it yet. Among many things, Plex has added a deep integration with Tidal, some massive mobile player overhauls, an improved shuffle system, discoverability options, and more.
Read MorePlex is offering a rare 25% discount on a lifetime Plex Pass (new subscribers only)
If you're a Plex user who has stuck with the free tier of the media library streaming service to date, this might finally be the day you convert to paid: the company is offering a rare 25% discount on its lifetime Plex Pass, bringing the cost down to just $90. That's the same price you'd pay for 18 months on the monthly ($4.99) plan, and for a little over two years at the annual rate ($39.99). While it's not the lowest-ever price for a lifetime membership, they're discounted so infrequently that this is still a deal definitely worth highlighting, as we have no idea if or when memberships will be discounted again (or by how much).

Two Android Police readers are about to get the ultimate home and mobile media setup thanks to our friends at Plex. Each winner will receive a lifetime Plex Pass (a $120 value) as well as a 2TB WD My Cloud Home ($159 value) to store your content and provide the server hardware. If you aren't so lucky, they have been kind enough to offer 30-day free trials for Plex Pass for everyone else, too.
Read More[Freebie Alert] Get 3 months of Plex Pass for free with discount code ($14.85 value)
Plex might have modified some of its privacy policy lately, but if you're not that alarmed by the change especially if you don't use third-party services and thus won't be affected by the new terms, then you could be interested in a deal that Plex is offering its new and existing users: 3 free months of Plex Pass subscription. Edit: it might not work for existing subscribers, but if you were already a free user, you should get it.
The Plex Pass normally costs $4.95/month and has a lot of added features including offline caching for your chosen media, parental controls and managed accounts for the little ones in your house, cloud storage compatibility in case your server is offline, the new Live TV offerings, better music and photo recognition and organization, and more.
Read MorePlex Live TV and DVR is out of beta and available for Android
It wasn't too long ago that Plex showed off its new Live TV feature, which you can read about here. That was just a beta, with a limited number of supported platforms (Android TV, iOS, and Plex web). However, that feature is growing up and ready for prime time, coming with full Android support, too.
Read MorePlex gets Alexa support for the ultimate home theater experience
Plex is simply awesome. I have been using the media server in some form or another for years and the Lifetime Pass sales are always extremely tempting. So when the service gets a new feature or addition, I pay attention. In this case, Amazon's personal assistant and Plex are coming together via a new Alexa skill.

If you have a lot of media files on your computer or server and you like the freedom of streaming them to your mobile phones, tablets, TVs, and other screens, chances are you're either using XBMC or Plex. For fans of the latter, there's some good news waiting for you in the form of a major update to the Android app.
Playlist support has been added to Plex on both the mobile layout and Android TV. Simply select any song, episode, or movie, and add it to a playlist. If you haven't created any playlists before, you'll be asked to make a new one.
