What is the crowd's opinion of CloudPlayer?

From 3.5 billion comments

Hmm Android apps aren't buggy or slow? Some are if you use the shitty ones, but overall they're quite good. I've jumped back and forth between a Nexus 6 and an iPhone 6+ and in all honesty I've had more app crashes on the iPhone than I ever had on the Nexus.

As for control center, Android has all this accessible from the swipe down menu as well.

Music? I'm really not sure what iOS provides over Android? I listen to music all day long and I've had just as enjoyable an experience on both Android and iOS. The iOS default music app is decent but there are better apps out there. On Android I get choices like https://www.doubletwist.com/cloudplayer which plays music from your cloud storage and the UI is really good.

Anyway all this to say that both iOS and Android are great choices, and most of the issues you're referring to are related to older iterations of Android, not with Lollipop or KitKat.

> Besides that I remember to read here in this sub about a "Cloud Player" (or similar), posted by developer itself. But I think it is not FOSS. Can't remember details.

Probably: Cloud Player It's only available via Google Play.

[Edge] Pour moi le seul défaut de Edge c'est d'être basé sur Chromium et donc contribuer à l'uniformisation du web façon Google, alors qu'avec Edge premier du nom, Microsoft avait réussi à faire un moteur HTML assez propre. Maintenant il ne reste guère que Firefox qui a son propre moteur, pour lutter contre tout les autres.

Mais techniquement Edge n'a pas grand chose à se reprocher, il est surtout victime de sa réputation.

[Streaming audio] Astiga ou CloudPlayer ont l'air de faire ce que tu veux. Y'a aussi des options auto-hébergeables dans la fameuse liste awesome-selfhosted

Forget YTM! I tried it and hate it. Instead, I downloaded all my music from Google Play Music, then uploaded it all to Dropbox. And I use CloudPlayer from doubletwist, https://www.doubletwist.com/cloudplayer, and it works really well. I really like that it gives me complete control over metadata and album art. It's not perfect, but it's the only thing I've found that works with all my music being cloud based, instead of having it locally saved.

1. Yes, if your brother buys the CloudPlayer from DoubleTwist for his Android phone, he can play music to the HomePod and other AirPlay speakers.
2. You can stream Spotify from your iPhone to HomePod, but when I tested it a minute ago, voice controls don’t work reliably while music is playing. Voice controls also don’t work reliably for me while music is playing when I use Spotify with a Sonos One speaker.
3. I think what makes HomePod good is the audio quality, with the voice commands a nice but inessential feature. When HomePod is playing music from Apple Music, voice commands work well. It’s nice being able to ask“ when was this track released“ musicology questions. In my country, Apple Music Student Discount price is $4.95 / month and minimum wage is $15 / hour so it’s do-able.
