Android: play music from the cloud - the best services
In order to play music from the cloud, you need some services and apps on Android. In addition to conventional streaming solutions, there are also options for accessing music stored even in the cloud. We'll show you how to play them.
beat: Cloud & Music Player - The app for all online storage
- If you have uploaded your own music to services such as Dropbox, Google Drive, Box.com or SkyDrive, the "Beat" app on Android makes it easily accessible.
- After a single login to the cloud services, you can access all folders that contain music and, after a short loading time, play songs directly on your Android device via stream.
- Beat is clear and chic designed. Except for minor bugs, it is a fully functional player for music from any cloud.
Google Play Music - Google's music streamer with Android integration
- Google Play Music is the default music player on some Android devices. You may not have known that you can listen to your own music from the cloud in conjunction with the PC client.
- This practical tip explains how you can upload your own music to the cloud.
- In addition to the well-functioning streaming of your own music, Google Play Music also offers the "All-Inclusive" service. This streaming service can then complement your own music library.
Apple Cloud issues and commercial trial
- Apple on the outside: Unfortunately, it is still not possible to access the music stored in the iCloud directly from the Android device. This still requires a detour, such as synchronizing all the music from iTunes twice in Google Play Music again.
- "MyMusicCloud" is a commercial provider that offers unlimited online storage space for your own music collection for EUR 40 a year and offers an ecosystem of apps and playback options. For this price, you will then receive music synchronization across all tablets, PCs, smartphones and smart TVs.
