Cloud Music Comparison: What's the Best Service for Streaming Your Library Everywhere? I REALLY want to use Google Music (since it's one app that handles both music stored on the phone and streamed music), however, there aren't any options for sorting your music. For instance, I usually listen to the music that I've just recently added to my music folders. Subsonic handles this flawlessly by looking at the Modified Date of my music files.
Google Music maintains its own history of when music was added (based on upload date). Subsonic also has options for Random, Top Rated, Most Played and Recently Played. Because of the reasons above (along with price) and the fact that it can handle my video library, I think I'll have to stick with Subsonic. Frankly, I'm using Google right now, but Subsonic is really tempting. I played with Subsonic, but found it to be a bit of a resource hog. Try Audiogalaxy if you didn't like it. iCloud - Your content. On all your devices. iCloud 2012 - TopTenREVIEWS. The most promising cloud music player is iCloud, the new cloud storage service from Apple and winner of our TopTenREVIEWS Gold Award. Its functionality is unique among the cloud music services we reviewed, and the user experience it offers is unparalleled.
We were very impressed with the service, even in its infant stages during beta testing. It is fully integrated with iTunes 10.3 and devices running iOS 5, broadcasting almost everything you do on one device or computer to all of your synchronized devices. If you’re a Mac user or you simply use Apple-family devices in conjunction with iTunes on your PC, iCloud will bring all of your music to you at any location at any time. Apple’s iCloud functions a bit differently than some of the other cloud music players out there. Apple has a history of producing clean, easy-to-use, polished products, and iCloud looks to be following that pattern.

The Most Detailed iCloud Review Ever. As I have been using iCloud for two weeks, this post aims at addressing the most commonly asked questions with regard to this latest addition to Apple technology. Granted, most of Apple products don't require a detailed manual as they usually "just work". In iCloud case, I believe that, although it works beautifully, it requires a lot more explaining that what can be found at www.apple.com/icloud First of all, the user has to keep in mind that "iCloud" refers to many different things: 1) An automated backup system for iOS devices: this is what enables users to "cut the cord". iOS devices are now autonomous and can be configured without a computer or iTunes.
A simple wifi connection will let you restore an iOS device from a previous backup or configure and activate a brand new device. However, music and photos aren't synced and backed up to iCloud which still forces users to connect at a point or another their iDevices to a computer. Other points and tips with respect to iCloud: Apple's iCloud: Fine on Mobile, Dead on the Desktop [REVIEW] Along with iOS 5, Apple officially released iCloud Wednesday. The successor to the much-maligned MobileMe, iCloud is Apple's first major attempt at unifying its product lines with online storage. Unlike MobileMe, iCloud is free to anyone with an iOS 5 device. It's also available for OS X Lion — and yes, that means you have to spend $30 on the upgrade if you're on Snow Leopard, a fact some have compared to a Mac user tax.
On the PC side, both Windows Vista and Windows 7 are supported. Could iCloud be a Dropbox or Google Docs killer? Here's the skinny. Mail, Calendar, Reminders and Notes If you've used MobileMe, the email, calendar and notes component of iCloud will be old hat. iCloud is designed to work with Mac OS X Mail and Outlook on Windows, but you can also access email, calendars and contacts directly at iCloud.com.
For iOS users, the syncing aspect of contacts and calendars is fantastic. Unfortunately, iCloud cannot subscribe to a Google calendar.

Google Music: Cloud-based Locker, Streaming and Downloads. Google Music Beta 2012 - TopTenREVIEWS. The winner of our TopTenREVIEWS Silver Award for cloud music players is Google Music Beta, one of the search giant’s latest innovations. Currently, as the name indicates, the service is in beta testing, so registration is limited to invitees. That said, when Google finally opens their cloud music storage service to the public, it’s going to make quite a splash, especially if it retains its no-subscription-fee model.
Their service provides an impressive amount of storage for its users; you can upload up to 20,000 songs to the cloud for access from any browser. Add that to their impressive degree of compatibility and excellent set of features, and you have one of the best cloud music players around. Google Music functions as you might expect a traditional cloud-based media service would work; you upload music to Google’s servers and you can listen to it from any web browser or compatible mobile app. Features Compare iCloud Google Music Beta Amazon Cloud Player Compatibility Sound Quality.

Amazon Cloud Player review: functional, not mind blowing, and still US-only.
It's hard to believe: our world-spanning network, our Internet, which is the cornerstone of free speech and free society -- which, on a good day, is capable of causing populist revolutions -- is still crippled by banal geolocation restrictions. We are, of course, talking about Amazon's two latest offerings, both of which are only available in the United States. Last week it was the excellent Android Appstore for Android, and today it's the Amazon Cloud Player for Web and Android.
Along with Cloud Player, Amazon also launched Cloud Drive, which is basically just like any other cloud storage digital locker. It's not particularly feature rich, and there's no real reason to use it over something like SugarSync or SkyDrive -- it does work outside the US, however. Its primary purpose, as far as we're concerned, is that it stores your your Cloud Player music in a subdirectory. You get 5GB of Cloud Drive storage for free, and then it's $1 per gigabyte per year if you need more space.
[Review] Amazon Cloud Player For Android - Google Music Who? It’s not much of a secret that Amazon is quickly becoming one of my favorite companies. The way they have embraced Android is wonderful, creating diversity where there used to be none. I recently ran down some of the pros and cons of the Amazon Appstore for Android, which is starting to become my go-to marketplace for new apps. Now they have released a new music streaming service, Cloud Player, which brings some of the functionality that was originally a hope of Google Music to my Droid. Cloud Drive and the Web App The Cloud Player is basically a frontend to all of the music that is stored in the Cloud Drive (which can be used to store any file type). As you can see from the screenshot, the categorization is liken to the “My Documents” in Windows, making organization in the Cloud Drive quick and painless.
The Android App Much like its desktop counterpart, Cloud Player for Android is very clean and easy to navigate. Cost Pros and Cons Pros Cons U.S. Conclusion. Amazon Cloud Player Review. Amazon Cloud Player and Drive review: Not for music lovers. Music may have kicked off the digital media revolution with the rise of the MP3, but in recent years audio has taken a major backseat to video and communications. The more devices we pile up, the more fragmented our music collections become. Some don’t even bother downloading music at all anymore, instead opting for unlimited monthly services or radio alternatives like Pandora. Well, Amazon has taken a step toward changing that.
Yesterday, the online retailer unveiled and released its Cloud Drive and Cloud Player, which let you upload music (or other files) to Amazon’s servers and stream them back on your computer or Android device. Apple and Google are both rumored to be launching some sort of streaming service as well. In the last 24 hours, we’ve tested and played around with Amazon’s new service, which does many things well, but fails to deliver a few basic features that would turn its new Cloud Player from a good tool to a great way for music lovers to store and access their music.
Amazon Cloud Player 2012 - TopTenREVIEWS. Of all the cloud music players we reviewed, the Amazon Cloud Player is the only service currently available to the public. Unfortunately, it’s also the least polished and promising of the three. With its respectable list of player features and exceptional customer support, it still performs admirably and earns the TopTenREVIEWS Bronze Award. Amazon’s foray into the cloud media player industry is backed by their MP3 store’s massive reach and customer base; for anyone already purchasing the majority of their MP3s through Amazon, this is a great option for easy access to all of your music from any browser or Android mobile device.
Amazon offers free cloud storage for any MP3 purchases from their proprietary music store, meaning that you can store as many of your Amazon MP3 Store purchases in their cloud as you want without paying any extra money. The Amazon Cloud Player is the only service to offer unlimited storage, as long as you’re willing to pay for it. Features Compare iCloud. mSpot Music. Samsung buys mSpot. mSpot Review.
