I honestly don't even know what features I use that are Plex Pass only but every so often someone will ask how to do so and so with Plex, I will tell them exactly how only for them to say they don't have that option.

What exactly is mobile sync? I can view remote content on my android phone on free.

That premium music is why I bought the pass yet I do not get what it is about? I thought it was like Spotify/Deezer.

Copy media to your device. Great for kids before a long drive or simply just for gooi-ing some tunes on your phone.

can sync content from plex server to phone for offline viewing , it transcodes the content and is smaller on the phone.

the premium music part , just gives better meta data on the mp3's from what i can tell - does just pull meta data based on id3 tag , but on other parts of the mp3 - almost like Shazam for the meta data- so picks up alot of tags that was not completed. - called audio fingerprinting as per plex pass.

been messing with plex cloud , so my family can watch my content from cloud and not streaming from my local PMS as i don'y have decent uploads speeds , but fibre will make plex cloud pointless.

ah forgot the plex app in Kodi is nice - i prefer plex interface for local content over kodi , but the is just me , know some people like kodi's layout better. been using Plex forever and it is hard to adjust.

High def album art. Pulls in 'on tour' info for artists in your library. Adds 'play extra' to context menu which streams videos for the song from Vimeo. Lastly: Plex Mix: smart playlist based on your first selection.

The two features I use the most, is the offline syncing and the photo uploading.

You can set up the offline syncing to sync just new content, and it syncs watched statuses back to Plex when you connect again, this is really nice when you're watching things at home and on the go at the same time, it's always in sync.

If I had a faster internet connection, I'd also look at using the Cloud sync option, so you can watch your stuff in the cloud instead.
