Google Music alternative

wicked1683 · Jan 4, 2014

I would like to store my music on cloud to save space as I only have a 16GB Nexus 5. Google Music upload service is not yet available in my country

Could someone please recommend an alternative app that's free like Google Music upload service?

Setup a subsonic server.

But after 30 days, it's not free? I heard you will pay every 30days?

The server is free. Premium services are either monthly or annual, take your pick. Third-party apps are either free or cost a few bucks to..you guessed it,..support the devs that give you support back. Kinda like the way Android works.

This is what the written in their latest app

*Welcome to Subsonic

....

After a 30-day free trial period you must upgrade to Subsonic Premium to continue using this app. Enjoy these extra features after upgrading:

So we are forced to pay after 30days.. Hmmm i think that's ok if they have cloud service, but we are using our own machine, why make us pay every month..

"The basic version of Subsonic is free. When you first install Subsonic, the premium features are available for 30 days so you can try them out before deciding to upgrade."

All I could find was MSpot Radio:

There is a freebie server and app called Qloud, I found it worked okay, but no where near the level of development of Subsonic and it's sharing/control, etc.

Mate, subsonic requires you to pay after 30days fir the mobile app to keep working with your server

Anyways, i found an alternative, ES File Explorer app. Its a file explorer app but it also lets you setup a cloud account. And you can play music using its built in music player

Downside is its music player lack some feature. But its better than nothing and it works like a charm and best if all its absolutely free!

Google Music can be setup in any country, I did it before it was available in my country officially. Just search on Google and you will find out how to do it.

I'm interested to find alternative to Google Music too

I tried "4shared music" but the player is very not good.

ES File Explorer can't even compare. Give Sub a go for 30 days...12 buck annually is a bargain for what it gives you...granted I'm serving 600 gigs of music.

What about amazon?

Google music offers 2 services.

1) purchase music online
2) upload your music collection to the cloud

I think Amazon only does 1? But op wants 2..

Spotify is great. Im a premium member myself. Notva suitable alternative for those who want to upload their own collection to the cloud to listen to.

You're absolutely correct mate. all in all, I only have 20GB of music that I want to access anytime. My Box cloud account has 50GB of free storage, that's more than enough.

And unlike subsonic, I dont need to turn on my own computer just to access it.

I tried that, for some reason not working for me. It cant play my cloud music files.

ES File Manager really solves my problem
