Sharing Playlists with Home Users?

I've started rolling out PlexAmp for my family, and hitting a wall with users that stream music both from their phones AND their computers--while PlexAmp shows the shared playlists from a phone, the regular OSX Plex Client doesn't see those shared playlists...

Any way around this? Something that I'm missing?

I'd really LOVE a way to automatically make a playlist available to all users...

shared playlists on the regular Plex Client are under Media (download icon), not Music *and not Playlists. Odd, agreed but that's where they are

Thank you!! This is STUPID but absolutely correct!

ALSO, it shows all the playlists I think, not just those shared individually. They can’t be accessed in ‘playlists’ but you can add a whole playlist to your queue and then save your queue as your own playlist

Have you had them try out the PlexAmp app on the computer as well? I use it on macOS exclusively for music.

THANK YOU!! This is also a solid working solution and probably exactly what my partner is looking for!!
