I would hope it may appear at some point in the future though. Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbramYetman7 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Pardon the old man grumbling, but who needs to store music in the cloud when Spotify and Apple Music exist? Where do you get these tracks and why? I'm wondering, maybe my worldview isn't enough to use Dropbox for a broader purpose. I registered Dropbox storage to keep my documents safe. I chose between Google Drive or Dropbox, but hundreds of family photos have already been uploaded to the GD, and I don’t want to mix content. Moreover, I was convinced by this article https://blog.coupler.io/what-is-dropbox-security/. How do YOU use Dropbox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of reasons come to mind. Those services often do not have a truly lossless service, or come at a cost that wouldn't be necessary if you already have a copy of the same music that you have already purchased. And more importantly, there are often titles that some or all of these service providers do not have rights to. And since many newer devices have removed the option to add external uSD card storage, the cloud may be your next best solution. Of course this does add the potential cost for data if your package doesn't include enough to cover your usage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From an extensive CD and vinyl library that I have collected over the last 40+ years in my case. I'm sure this is similar for many others as well. Why buy again what you have already paid for?

andrewilley Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 @MotleyG Same here, I have a huge collection of audio files, varying from rips from my CD/DVD collection, radio shows, concert recordings, theme park audio, etc. Including some quite esoteric stuff. If you can find me one single streaming service that has everything in my collection, and 100% guarantees that they will never remove any existing items from their service, then I'll happily sign up. If not, my music is where I know I can always find it, and where I can play it on any device of my choice, with or without an internet connection.

SHADOW-XIII Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 (edited) Just wanted to highlight playing from Google Drive should be doable. You can see https://musicsync.ashishb.net or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.doubleTwist.cloudPlayer - which is doing exactly that I would love to see Poweramp to be able to do the same.

ScarletNeko Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I personally would rather have option to connect to a lan storage (instead of things like gdrive for example) in some better and more solid way, such as a more complete/polished implementation of smb or ftp connectivity for example. The way we can do it now is pretty squishy, tags and pictures won't load and you can't seek, a remote controlled icecast stream works better but the setup is pretty bonkers and it comes with its own limitations. But any advance on this area is interesting to follow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHADOW-XIII Posted Wednesday at 07:41 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:41 AM Maybe an option to do it via plugins? ie. a plugin would be responsible handling the source of files (ie. connecting, authentication, crawling through folders, caching etc) and then it would be passing the music file, ie. mp3 (steam/file?) to Poweramp to play, or plugin would be passing playlist/queue to Poweramp and Poweramp would be requesting from plugin the file/stream on playlist/queue change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
