Welcome to Plex!
Plex in a nutshell is a media platform that runs on Macs and PCs that is capable of organizing your media so that it can be viewed in by any Plex Client in a beautiful to see and easily navigable form. In addition to allowing you to view all of your music, photos and videos it allows you to get to online content from many of your favorite online providers from the comfort of your couch using just a remote control - no need to type all that "www" mumbo-jumbo... no need to sit through an entire newscast for the weather. This is the best of both worlds.
Plex for Android of course works WITH your Plex Media Server to offer up your music, video and photos on your mobile device.
