From here, you can also show only tracks you’ve downloaded for offline playback and have stored locally, as well as access the settings menu. The hamburger menu pops out and allows quick and easy access to sorting options, such as Albums, Artists, Playlists, Songs, Genres, and Composers. It offers Material design, and revolves around a gesture-based interface for navigating around your music library. The app itself borrows a lot of visual and operational cues from Google Play Music, which isn’t a bad thing.
MY CLOUDPLAYER TRIAL
Upon first opening the app, you are greeted with this information, and can proceed with a 7-day free trial of these “premium” features by logging in with your Google account. There is Chromecast and Apple AirPlay support, and Last.FM scrobbling is built-in.ĬloudPlayer is a free download from the Google Play Store, however a one time in-app purchase of $4.99 is needed to unlock the most desirable features, including the cloud storage functionality itself, Chromecast and AirPlay support, and the equalizer and other sound processing features. At any time, you can make any file or playlist available for offline playback, and restrict the data needed for streaming to WiFi networks only. This is probably the biggest reason to use CloudPlayer over other digital music locker services, as most others re-encode lossless or high-resolution files to some type of lossy format. It supports MP3, AAC, OGG, M4A, WAV, and WMA files, and as of version 1.0.4, also supports FLAC files, including those at higher resolutions (up to 24-bit, 192kHz audio). Then, it builds from all available sources to create a database, and organizes it into one music library, complete with album art, tags, and metadata.


The app links to your Dropbox, OneDrive, and Google Drive accounts, as well as pulls from local storage, and scans each for compatible media. Simply stated, doubleTwist’s CloudPlayer allows you build your own music streaming service from the files you already have, using the cloud storage services you already use.
