It's OK, everybody should have the NLE installed that can play back pro media anyway, and should never shut it off since budgets have been slashed where you should have excel open all the time along with the NLE, and compositing software.

That's why you keep the sega Saturn plugged in.

pro systems like the cdi come with a remote, id recommend getting one of those instead for your home theater setup

can't you just ask for the 24/48 master from the studio? A needle drop for the stupid indie stuff you want to listen to is only $3,500

not really

you get access to new versions quicker (free users are i think a few versions "behind", the pass-exclusive newest build isn't a "beta" or at least not treated as one), you get "Plex Media Player" which is an app-ified version of Plex with a few features over the web player (e.g. can direct play more formats)

you also get "plex cloud" which is basically an in-the-cloud plex server that gets its media from cloud storage accounts you have (currently supports Google Drive, OneDrive and Dropbox, IIRC), but its proven to be incredibly janky and unstable so i wouldn't put too much faith into that

there's probably some other stuff i'm not thinking of

it's been worth it for me to get the lifetime pass (which is $150 now, used to be $75) but ymmv on that
