CloudBeats: A Music Player for Listening to Cloud Music

The arrival of Spotify and later Apple Music has undoubtedly changed the way we listen to music. Streaming has gradually made physical formats disappear, and digital music collections have become our first choice for listening to songs.

But streaming has its drawbacks: we only have access to the platform's music database, and often we can't find certain songs or albums. That's why we want to introduce you to CloudBeats, a platform available for iPhone and Android that lets you play songs you store in the cloud.

How Does CloudBeats Work?

CloudBeats has a music player that allows you to play your songs stored on services like Box, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, ownCloud, NextCloud, pCloud, HiDrive, Mediafire, My Cloud Home, and so on.

Once installed, you can use it as a streaming player and as a local file player. This is because you can download songs hosted on virtual drives (MP3, M4A, FLAC, etc.) to listen to them without needing to be connected.

Other CloudBeats Features:

• Create playlists
• Controls for songs
• Song search (by name or key)
• Shuffle playback
• Auto shutdown option
• Play podcasts and audiobooks
• Stream music from your phone to other devices via AirPlay or Chromecast

With CloudBeats you can sync the music you have stored in the cloud and locally on a single mobile device. In our tests, streaming has been very good and we haven't had any interruptions or ads. The service has a free option for iOS and Android devices, which comes with the following restrictions.

Android limitations: You can sync only one cloud account, it does not include track downloads, it does not support Chromecast streaming, and it is not compatible with FLAC format. On iOS you'll find the following limitations: It only supports 20 items in the queue and you don't have the download option.
