What about OneDrive and Google Drive support?
When I was looking at Google Drive API some time ago, it didn't—unlike the Dropbox API—support byte serving (partial requests). That is needed for efficient indexing of MP3 files without having to download them first. It may have since changed though. Otherwise I think it would be pretty much analogous to the Dropbox integration.

#32Earlier quoted context omitted.
For one: you can play your music collection from any location if it's stored on Dropbox?
isn't that kind of inherently possible due to the nature of Dropbox? Albeit this has a proper UI. Plex, for instance, does this and much more provided you have a collection not in a cloud.

#33With Dropbox upping their quotas I was literally thinking about this two days ago! I look forward to checking this out. Going to take me quite a while to finish uploading my music though.

better ensure it is indeed your music, because Dropbox will likely report infringements of copyright
Some of my Dead could maybe cause a problem (though it was all once freely available on archive.org).

#35Music in Dropbox? Who keeps music in DropBox's 2GB of free storage? (I'm assuming market who pays for DropBox storage is a lot smaller)

#37Could this support playing music from S3 and storing/reading metadata as S3 headers? I currently store about 200GB of music in Amazon Cloudplayer, which has recently gone sideways with their push towards Music Prime. I'm currently ripping all my music out and putting it into S3.

#38Really cool idea. Who hasn't thought of doing this before? Congrats on actually making it, and making it look beautiful. Already forked it, can't wait to start playing with it. I don't see any mobile screenshots, how does it look on a phone screen? I can imagine that being a great use-case for this app.

#39I've always thought it might be interesting to have apps like this that run locally on web technologies. Is there hope for this model? One obviously shortcoming as exemplified here is the painful installation process. I suspect people are also going to be concerned with what's being installed where.
also sadly, some sort of drm should probably exist.
