Unlike iTunes, Plex can read just about every media file format you can think of. In minutes, your media collection goes from being a series of files and folders to a Netflix-like experience that you control. It can also augment your collection of movies, TV shows, and music with a huge amount of related content from sources around the web, like movie posters and album art, details on cast and crew members, episode descriptions, original air dates, and much more.

What is a Plex Media Server? Once installed and set up, a Plex Media Server can automatically organize all your files on your computer. If you want to set up a personal media server to house all your files, there are a few more steps. If you only want to stream third-party content, you can open an account, download the app on your device of choice, and you are good to go.

You can organize your own personal media files, such as pictures, music, and videos, as well as streaming services to watch movies, TV series, podcasts, and other online content. Plex is software that you can use to store, locate, and access all of your media in one place.
