Tunebox is a good iOS alternative to CloudPlayer. Hopefully, CloudPlayer clients for iOS and the web aren’t too far away.īut once the music is uploaded to Dropbox, you can use different apps on different platforms to stream your music library. If not, you can buy the $1.99/month 100 GB plan from Google Drive and it’ll still cost 5 times less than Spotify (Dropbox doesn’t have such a plan). Of course, CloudPlayer is no streaming service killer, even though doubleTwist’s Jon Lech Johansen makes a really compelling argument against Google Play Music.īut if you’re nerdy enough to take control of your own (currently limited to Android) streaming service, and you have enough free cloud storage accumulated via promotions (I have 71 GB in Dropbox right now), give CloudPlayer a try. That means after 7 days, the core features of the app will be disabled and the app will turn into just another local music player. You can try the app for 7 days by logging in with your Google account but after that you’ll have to pay $4.99 using IAP to continue using the cloud features. Support for MP3, AAC, OGG, m4a, wav and more.Support for Lossless file formats such as FLAC and ALAC.SuperSound™: Customize your sound with headphone enhancement, bass boost and widening effects.Advanced 10 band equalizer with 17 presets and Preamp.Supports Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive.And you can download songs for offline use as well. Just like you’d expect with something like SoundCloud or Spotify. But it’s yet to be seen how it handles a library filled with 10,000 songs. I tried it with a couple of albums and it worked surprisingly well. The app will scan your cloud storage, identify songs and sort them in the app. You upload your entire music collection to either/both cloud storage services (which can take a couple of hours to a couple of days), then get the Android app, connect respective accounts and let CloudPlayer do its thing. But it’s kind of the idea behind doubleTwists’s new CloudPlayer app that’s “ launching on Android first” (iOS version should be tagging along soon?).ĭoubleTwist CloudPlayer lets you hack your own music streaming service that’s currently limited to Android and the storage space you have on Dropbox/Google Drive. Well, there’s no truly decentralized, user-controlled music streaming service yet. Wouldn’t it be great if you could make your own music streaming service that would stream your own music collection no matter what device you were using? They cost around $10 a month, don’t have the highest quality of music, one service never has all the music you need and all the music you’ve bought/collected over the past decade is now useless. But music streaming services might not be for everyone. I have a link to the Dropbox I will put up later once I get all the songs in. In fact, in 2 weeks, Apple is getting in to the game. The subject line will be: Your music is scheduled for release. Music streaming services aren’t going anywhere.
